Summary

The Student Affairs 2025 plan provides a vision to advance the University of Georgia and Student Affairs missions, enrich student learning and support student development and growth, and create an even more valuable and memorable student experience at UGA. Increasing a student’s sense of belonging and commitment to creating positive change improves not only a student’s experience at UGA but their capacity for leadership and stewardship in creating more healthy, prosperous, and stable communities in Georgia and around the world.

To achieve this outcome, the Student Affairs 2025 plan features three interrelated strategies that build on Student Affairs’ core strengths in student development, engagement, and well-being.

In support of these strategies, Student Affairs has undertaken a number of key initiatives.

Through the Student Affairs 2025 plan, Student Affairs is providing critical leadership and support for UGA students to immerse fully in the campus experience, practice the skills, and develop the mindsets they will need to reach their fullest potential, at UGA and in life.
