The Mission of the Division of Student Affairs

The Division of Student Affairs of Methodist University supports the mission of the University and provides opportunities for personal growth and advancement. We serve the entire community through supporting the educational process. We offer a variety of programs and services that seek to nurture, challenge and stimulate all persons. Our support system is the catalyst for the development of the whole person.

Why get involved?

College provides a wealth of opportunities for students to get involved. Studies have shown that students who get involved in at least one co-curricular activity tend to perform better academically and be more satisfied with their college experience. Student activities, clubs, organizations, and athletics afford students the chances to learn more about themselves, establish friendships, and develop leadership and other interpersonal skills. Methodist University strongly encourages students to get involved in campus life outside the classroom. Experience all that Methodist University has to offer!
