Student Affairs Mission

Mission

Consistent with the historical tripartite mission of the University, the Division for Student Affairs has a mission to administer a comprehensive range of student development services, activities, and programs that promote student learning and enhance the development of our students.

The Division has a strong tradition of providing services that are based on a student-centered philosophy, with the firm belief that student development services are an integral part of the total learning experience at Prairie View A&M University.  All levels within the division are directed toward achieving productive results and continuous quality improvement at all times.  As an ongoing, integrated, institution-wide process, “Excellence in service to students” provides the operational framework for this division.

The graduates of Prairie View A&M University will demonstrate intellectual sophistication, astuteness in acceptable value systems, a keen awareness and appreciation for integrity and morality and a high degree of personal, interpersonal and leadership skills.
