The Division of Student Affairs is committed to serving students by creating intentional experiences that engage and develop students while enhancing their OCU journey.

To Achieve this Mission, We:

• Create caring, safe and healthy environments that support student learning;
• Provide innovative opportunities for student learning, especially in the areas of self-awareness, critical thinking, leadership, civic engagement, and social responsibility;
• Promote individual student achievement and excellence in academic pursuits and beyond;
• Encourage individual and collective discovery through relationships, partnerships, and collaborations with students faculty, staff, parents, and other members of our community;

Promoting these shared values is integral to our success in helping students become engaged and supported at Oklahoma City University.
