UWSP STUDENT AFFAIRS DIVISION

LOPMENTNIVERSITY RELATIONS

Beliefs

We believe education must be a dynamic enterprise to prepare students for effective service and leadership in society.

We believe a comprehensive educational experience prepares a student for life as well as a career.

We believe learning is maximized when an educational environment engages the whole person, both in and out of the classroom, and provides a balance of challenge and support to the individual.

We believe the educational environment is strengthened through the cooperative participation of all members of the university community.

We believe a comprehensive educational experience will foster institutional pride and loyalty in all members of the university community and manifest itself in an ongoing commitment to the advancement of the university and its mission.

We affirm UWSP’s historical belief and time-honored tradition that an individual’s potential is best realized in a friendly, nurturing environment which respects and values each person.
