SDSU Student Affairs

Dr. James R. Kitchen
Vice President for Student Affairs

The Division of Student Affairs is a student-centered partner in the SDSU learning community. Education is enhanced, both inside and outside of the classroom, through quality support services and programs that advance student learning and development.

The Division contributes to academic and personal success, encourages independent civic responsibility, and promotes the welfare of all students. Student Affairs helps connect students to the University and to their future, building alliances that foster retention and loyalty beyond graduation.

The Division of Student Affairs plays a vital role in the personal growth, wellness, intellectual development, academic achievement and career success of each individual student by:

• Fostering a campus culture that encourages each student to articulate his or her own goals for success;
• Enhancing the learning environment and expanding learning opportunities for all students inside and outside the classroom;
• Promoting a campus climate that values, accepts and learns from our rich diversity;
• Developing leaders who believe in and lead others toward supporting civility, mutual respect and diversity in our society and workplaces;
• Expanding the opportunities for students to participate in local, regional and international experiences;
• Building and expanding the human, technological and physical resources that support growth and development.
