Dear Students:

The primary responsibility of the staff of the Division of Student Life is to provide developmental programs and support services which assist your progress through Winthrop. We work to enhance the quality of campus life, establish a sense of community and school spirit, and foster the overall maturation and ethical development of you and your peers. Our goal is to engage you in all that your university has to offer you. We know that if you fully engage with your university, you will become a better person in and out of the classroom, and you will get better grades too!

Through our various programs and activities, the Division of Student Life attempts to cultivate a genuine appreciation for racial and cultural diversity among members of the campus community. Programs are intentionally designed to encourage you to engage actively in pursuing your educational objectives, life goals, and personal growth and development. Guidance and support are provided so that each of you can achieve your personal best and contribute constructively to the University community and broader democratic society.

Please remember you were selected to join this rigorous institution, and we rightfully have high expectations for you to continue achieving and learning “habits of intellect, habits of heart, and habits of appetite” that will serve you very well for your lifetime. We expect you:

• To graduate.
• To become an educated and ethical person.
• To smile and be friendly as you cross campus.
• To respect our beautiful campus environment.
• To make Winthrop University better for YOU having been here.

We care for your growth and attainment. Please use this website and, more important, become fully engaged with the programs and services described within it. Take full advantage of all Winthrop University has to offer and work to fulfill the student government’s Dedication for Excellence. You will be glad you did fully engage in the Winthrop Experience.

Live. Learn. Lead.

Frank P. Ardaiolo, Ed. D.
Vice President for Student Life
