Student Affairs Alignment Plan Overview
Student Affairs is an innovative, collaborative, and student-centered division that champions student success. The Division’s mission and vision are operationalized through programs and services that anticipate students’ needs and promote their development by fostering a community of learning, engagement, well-being, belonging, and career readiness. Over 300 professional/administrative and 1200 student staff members situated in 29 departments make up our team that supports student persistence and success.
Our 2023-2028 plan includes an updated vision, mission, values, and six strategic priorities with supporting objectives and metrics aligned to the ECU strategic plan.
