Beyond Academics

Belonging and Thriving

At ɫҹ, we meet students where they are, wherever they come from, and wherever they are going. We walk with them throughout their collegiate career, providing the personalized services and programs that pave their way to graduation. Every student’s journey is personal, charted by their own life’s experiences. We support each student through their college years and beyond, encouraging them to reach their full potential and experience their brightest future.

 

We Support All Students

One of our guiding principles is ensuring that we put “students first in all we do.” That means offering the best resources and programming to address the wide variety of student needs across the eight campus system.

Most of these programs and support services have costs that are not provided through state funding. We depend on the philanthropic support from our alumni, donors, employees and friends to ensure these programs exist and, most importantly, serve the students who need them most. Philanthropy supports a wide variety of needs including scholarships, programs and operations that propel our students on toward graduation.

“Higher education is part of the public good. Research shows it’s important to have a degree, not just higher learning. This leads to fewer future issues with mental health, incarceration and illness.”

CommUNITY Lab is more than people to help me when I’m struggling, it's my family and friends that I can count on just like they can count on me.

“The LGBTQ+ Center has become a home away from home to me and after entering the Center, I was able to meet and become friends with other students.”
