Welcome from the Associate Vice President & Dean of Students
Dear Life University Student,
I would like to express how happy we are as a Life University community that you are here with us. We are very honored you have chosen to embark on your educational journey with us.
As the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs and the Dean of Students, it is my pleasure to assist you in your academic, personal, and professional development. To make your transition into this academic year as successful and rewarding as possible, the Office of Student Affairs is pleased to provide you access to not only this Student Handbook but also with experienced and talented individuals and staff who are ready to support you.
I hope this academic year will prove to be a productive learning experience for you. Our office is focused on the education our students receive outside the classroom. Though we are mindful that the intellectual life will be the core of the enterprise at LIFE, we are dedicated to the idea that learning continues, is enhanced, and is made meaningful beyond the threshold of the conventional classroom. I would invite you to enjoy intellectual discovery, participate in a variety of campus events, get involved in a recognized student organization and perhaps actively participate in community service. I hope that you will experience a transformational experience at LIFE that unlocks the potential that each of you share.
We are committed to a vision of diversity and inclusion that fosters the academic and personal growth of all students. We are here to help you create a vibrant community that enhances the quality of your student experience.
These efforts include helping students make sensible and informed decisions about academic and personal matters, negotiating the opportunities and challenges that are an important part of a highly demanding academic environment, and finding appropriate resources within and beyond the Division of Student Affairs. We also work with a range of collaborative partners, including academic departments and programs, to create opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and community members to integrate the learning that takes place inside and outside of the classroom.
Please feel free to contact us at DeanofStudents@LIFE.edu if we can be of service. Our number one priority is to make the student experience at LIFE University a powerful and enriching one.
Sincerely,
Janna Bredeson, PhD
Associate Vice President & Dean of Students
