OUR VISION
Our Vision is for students within a university setting that has a large population of their peers and by facilitating interactions and participation in regular classes, in campus activities, in the workplace, and in volunteer settings. Active participation in university life enables a wide range of typical campus activities alongside student peers. Through our facilitation model we can support responsible decision-making, independence, self-determination, and self-esteem through meaningful experiences.
Our Vision for Graduate Support Services (GSS) is to increase the employment potential of students and graduates by providing opportunities for developing job skills and job contacts through summer employment or volunteer position.
