Student Support
Culture of Care
As students balance academic and other life commitments, it is important they feel
a consistent foundation of physical, psychological and social support. The Division
of Student Affairs provides the people and programs to meet students’ needs so their
studies can continue uninterrupted. The Division has developed resources to anticipate
both unexpected and ongoing needs and deliver these to students in a timely manner.
Our programs and services provide vital support to students and are a prime example
of OSU's Culture of Care.
