Welcome to Student Development
Message from the Vice President and Dean of Students
We are here to ensure that you have access to the opportunities and support you need to thrive during your time at the University of Dayton. Campus life offers a multitude of experiences that can enhance and enrich your academic study. Living in community, joining a campus organization or taking steps to ensure your health and well-being are just some of the ways that you can shape your undergraduate journey to reflect your needs and aspirations. Our staff is deeply committed to provide a wide variety of services, programs, activities and leadership opportunities to help you achieve your intellectual, personal and professional goals.
At the University of Dayton, we are especially proud of being a Catholic, Marianist Institution. The Marianist education emphasizes faith and reason, educating the whole person, and building communities and teams that are greater than the sums of their parts. We are committed to promoting a campus climate that fosters civility and encourages participation, and we invite you to take an active role in your own learning and development. Please know that you may call on us if you need assistance. We are dedicated to supporting your academic quest and personal growth.
May God bless you in your academic journey!
Warm regards,
Annette Schmeling, RSCJ
