Our Mission

The Office of Student Development is committed to educating Iona College students through a holistic approach incorporating our professional experiences and our knowledge of student development theory. Through collaboration with our academic colleagues and students we provide innovative programs, activities, and services that enhance the quality of student life and create a student centered environment in which participants develop, embrace, and enhance ethical leadership, life skills and experiences through creating an active diverse campus climate where all members of the community will flourish.

We act as a catalyst to student self exploration and development. In doing so, we serve as educators, mentors, and advisors who challenge, support, and empower our students to become active citizens and leaders within the College and global community.

We will accomplish this work collaboratively and in support of the mission of the College.

To accomplish our mission we provide:

• Student Involvement Opportunities
• Student Center Operations
• Student Diversity Initiatives
• Programming and Activities
• Leadership Development
