Student Affairs

Division of Student Affairs

Student Affairs is Here for You!

The McPherson College community is intentionally small. Because of that, we get to focus on what’s important. What matters most to us is giving you every opportunity to practice your craft, volunteer your time, and make connections with people that value your individuality. In the midst of that empowering space, you’ll grow into the person you’ve always wanted to become and find out what you’re meant to do.

The mission of the Division of Students Affairs is to develop and graduate whole persons through exploration, experience, and engagement.  Student Affairs consists of several areas with a common purpose to help you thrive during your time on campus, including housing and residence life, student organizations and clubs, career and experiential learning, adventure programs, spiritual life, diversity and inclusion programming, Title IX, student conduct, dining services, campus store, and others.  We provide leadership and student employment opportunities.  We are here for you!
