What an awesome opportunity to serve and shape young adults as the Dean of Student Life.  Our desire is to provide an enriching environment you can call home while growing intellectually, spiritually, and socially. 

Our Philosophy

Servant Of All (SOA): This program forms the backbone of the SUM educational philosophy.  Upon completion of the degree program, it is expected that students have adhered to strict work schedules, prayer times, Bible studies, fasting, physical fitness, and mentoring meetings. They will have completed practicum which will prepare them for a life-time of service to humanity, and preparation for life-long learning.

 

Mission Statement

The Student Life Department seeks to provide a total living and learning community environment for students called to a life of urban ministry/service through spiritual maturation, intentional relationship building, discipleship, and Christian service. The Student Life Department provides services and affords opportunities to enhance campus life. Departmental staff strives to create a comfortable living and learning community by providing personnel, resources, programs, services, and facilities that promote and support educational achievement, social development, and civility through local and global cultural awareness and understanding. Through the development of this community, individual growth will occur which will encourage students to invest in their future communities. 

Spiritual formation takes place through:

• Dynamic chapel services
• A unified community within the dorms
• Personal mentorship with administration, faculty and alumni
• Serving the student body through the Student Government Association
