Student Life Mission Statement:

The Department of Student Life and Development at Columbus State University promotes involvement, learning, and success through intentional programming and developmental opportunities. Realizing that student development occurs through collaboration of all areas of campus life, Student Life encourages partnerships with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the Columbus community to enhance engagement for Columbus State University. We will work to foster an inclusive environment for both Riverpark and Main campus students through diverse innovative events.

Student Life and Development strives to cultivate and sustain an inclusive community where all students progress toward graduation. Through this journey, students develop into leaders through involvement in purposeful, creative experiences facilitated by student development experts.
