About Student Conduct

The team in Student Conduct educates students about community expectations and values. We apply a comprehensive approach of informal and formal options to uphold standards, foster personal growth, and promote a civil learning environment. As a team, we approach our work through five core values: Student-Centered, Learning-Focused, Relationally Driven, Community Minded, and Administratively Sound. We do this in the spirit of living the expressed values of our department, university, and higher education community. We strive to balance the needs and concerns of individuals involved in and connected to our process, as well as those of the larger community.

About Residential Well-being

Students come first in Residential Well-being, and we’ve refocused structures, functions, roles, and processes with that in mind. To start, we separated housing functions to ensure that our Residential Well-being team can focus solely on fostering community, building relationships, and supporting students’ well-being and success, while working collaboratively with colleagues in housing and facilities. And in our new model, professional staff and student leaders are assigned to a group of students, rather than to buildings. We want every student to feel that they belong and to develop deep, meaningful relationships across difference. And we know that well-being must be built and sustained through relationships. So we’re breaking down our large on-campus population of approximately 10,000 students into smaller groups of 2,000 students. And we’re breaking down our smaller groups of 2,000 students into even smaller groups of 150 students, who will be supported by student leaders for inclusion and belonging, well-being, and ExperienceVT.
