About the Dean of Students

The mission of the Dean of Students and the Division of Student Affairs is to enhance the quality, character, and perspectives of our students. Through its many orientation, mentoring, and counseling programs, the Division promotes an environment that encourages intellectual exchange and individual expression. By offering these programs and a rich residential environment where students can interact with each other, faculty, staff, and other adults, the Division strives to help students develop both personally and academically. The role of the Dean of Students is to interact with students and student associations to represent student concerns and to provide programs and services that facilitate both personal and academic growth.

Boston University is dedicated to providing an environment that will enable students to effectively engage in academic and intellectual work, community service, and other activities that will enrich their time at the University.
