The Mission of the Division of Student Life at Villanova University is to provide high quality programs, activities and services that advance the development of students on all levels - intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, culturally, socially, and physically - within a learning community committed to Catholic values and the spirit of St. Augustine.

In accordance with its Mission, the Student Life staff believes that:

• Helping students form connections between their experiences in the classroom and their lives in the community is at the heart of what we do.
• Mutual love, respect and compassion should guide all interactions.
• Concern for social justice and a willingness to serve are core values of a Villanova education.
• Personal growth is a continuous process that is nurtured by clarifying values, interacting with others, and exploring faith.
• Student development is enhanced when there is collaboration among faculty, staff, students and parents.
• All Villanovans are stewards of the community and are called to a spirit of selflessness that promotes the common good.
• Each person teaches others and learns from others.
• Individuals are responsible for their behavior and accountable to each other and to the community.
