About the Division of Student Affairs Priorities: Three priorities
guide our work in the Division of Student Affairs: mattering &
belonging, inclusion & access and quality. We believe creating
a sense of mattering & belonging requires us to ensure every
space, place, and interaction communicates to a student that they
are home. Being inclusive and accessible in our work means that as
our student body begins to more closely reflect the diversity of
our state, it is our duty to design programs, services, events, and
experiences with everyone in mind. Finally, a commitment to quality
is rooted in the belief that LSU students deserve our best effort.
Every interaction we have with them should communicate care,
relevance, polish, and attention to detail.
