Our Mission

The Student Affairs Department advances the University’s mission of providing quality healthcare education with programs and services that foster academic success, student development, and campus community. We assist and inspire student doctors as they prepare for compassionate, innovative, and patient-centered careers in medicine.

Interpersonal Competence - We will provide opportunities for students to develop their skills in professionalism, communication, collaboration, team-building, relationship-building, and problem-solving.
Student Learning - We will promote student learning through co-curricular programming, academic & career advising activities, and holistic wellness activities.
Social Responsibility - We will promote student respect and understanding for others through programming which highlights diversity, inclusivity, and an increased global awareness.

Our Department Learning Outcomes

Students who interact with or receive support from Student Affairs will be able to:

Develop healthy and respectful relationships with others, an integrated sense of personal identity and a positive sense of self.
Acquire, integrate, and apply knowledge that supports their academic and personal growth and wellness.
Demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of cultural and human differences and the value of promoting respect and service to others.

The mission of the Rocky Vista University Campus Advocacy, Response, and Education (CARE) Team is to identify students who are displaying concerning behavior. The CARE Team facilitates connecting those students with campus or community resources in an effort to assist in their wellbeing and academic success.

The purpose of the CARE Team is:

To receive and gather information regarding potentially harmful or disruptive behavior with regard to safety and rights of others and to minimize the disruption to the University community.

To collaboratively recommend preventative and purposeful individualize interventions to ensure a safe environment where learning, personal growth, and professional development can occur.

To follow up to determine if further intervention is needed, evaluate effectiveness of intervention strategies, and make further recommendations as warranted.

The Care Team serves as an advisory group to the Provost and Associate Dean of Student Affairs.
