Welcome to the University of Dubuque. The Office of Student Life is committed to ensuring that your college experience is both rewarding and positive. But this is a shared responsibility, with university administration and the students playing complementary roles. While the university provides a learning, living environment that is safe, supportive, and developmental, the student must decide to be a productive, responsible, and engaged member of this community. To this end therefore, I challenge and invite you to:

• Seek out various opportunities for engagement through different clubs and organizations
• Pursue the highest levels of integrity, shunning any form of conduct that would disrupt harmony in the UD community
• Utilize the various resources available for you at UD
• Hold each other accountable to the UD mission and values statements

As the Dean of Student Life, I understand that students expect my office to be:

• Reasonably accessible to all students
• Open and inviting
• Responsive to student concerns
• Fair and compassionate, while holding students accountable to our communal code of conduct.
• Continually wrestling with best practices for making the student experience at UD a positive one.

Student Life Offices are located in the second floor of Peters Commons, just above the cafeteria. To learn more about the many services offered through Student Life, please visit any of the Student Life Departments listed here. I wish you great success at the University of Dubuque.

Sincerely, Kimberly Schwartz
Dean of Student Life
