The Student Affairs office is dedicated to the development of new Walden scholar practitioners, individuals who will become the next generation of stewards of their respective disciplines and agents of positive social change. Accordingly, the Student Affairs team partners with colleges and centers within the university to support implementing policies, procedures and practices that contribute to an effective learning environment for all students. The office also promotes an orientation toward lifelong learning and individual growth in developing students’ personal competencies needed for success in their given profession.
