The Division of Student Affairs is a community of professionals committed to supporting students beyond the classroom. Our work is grounded in care, collaboration, and a shared responsibility to help students thrive academically, personally, and socially. Through services, programs, and partnerships across campus, we show up in both the everyday moments and the pivotal ones that shape the student experience.
We believe our impact is strongest when our work is inclusive, student-centered, and rooted in integrity. Guided by values of access, collaboration, and continuous improvement, we strive to create environments where students feel supported — and where staff feel empowered to do their best work.
Brand Storytelling
At the University of Denver, learning doesn’t begin and end in the classroom; it comes alive in the moments that shape who students are becoming. The Division of Student Affairs exists to fuel those moments and empower students to succeed. That is the heart of our 4D experience, to help shape our students holistically and prepare them for the challenges that lie ahead.
Crisis Communications and Issues Management
In moments of uncertainty, the Division of Student Affairs serves as a steady, compassionate guide for the DU community. When challenges arise, we lead with care — communicating clearly, honestly, and in real time. Grounded in trust and connection, the Office of External Relations centers student well-being in every message, translating complex situations into clear guidance and meaningful support.
