The Division of Student Life and Development advances student learning and supports and enhances the educational mission of Winona State University. With an emphasis on holistic student development, faculty and staff within Student Life and Development (SLD) strive to assist students in achieving their potential and in becoming self-directed in all activities.

We promote and contribute to a university community centered on student learning and success. SLD is responsible for planning and administering an array of programs, services, and activities which:

  • encourage the optimal growth and personal development of students
  • contribute to student success and well-being
  • foster a sense of community
  • support an environment which is personal in nature, intellectually and culturally diverse, and which encourages the integration of in and out-of-classroom student experiences

SLD creates supportive environments and innovative opportunities for student learning. We promote individual student excellence; we invite collaboration and discovery; and we challenge students to take responsibility as members of a diverse, global community.

Our Statement of Purpose for Student Life and Development

  • Provide students a living/learning environment that appreciates diversity, is challenging and supportive, and promotes the development of students through integrated curriculum and co-curriculum.
  • Provide complementary learning opportunities and supportive services, which extend beyond the classroom.
  • Assist students in achieving their academic and personal potential while enjoying their WSU experience through a variety of student-centered programs, services, activities, and work experiences.
