Welcome from the Assistant Vice President!
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Saint Leo University's Division of Student
Services web site. Our division is charged with providing guidance, support services,
and a variety of intentional and purposeful programs/activities intended to complement the academic pursuits of students
and to promote a students' development. Throughout the Division of Student Services,
you will encounter caring professionals who are not only trained and
skilled in their own specialties, but are professional educators dedicated to
assisting students in developing to their full potential.
The focus of Student Services is meant to be one of education and guidance,
not merely problem solving. The role of our staff is, as is that of the faculty,
to assist the student in reaching true maturity. When coupled with a challenging
academic experience, these services and opportunities facilitate a student's
total development so that they attain their educational goals as individuals prepared to function
successfully as leaders within a global society. You'll love the person you become here!
Saint Leo University has adopted six steadfast moral guidelines to help us
recognize the dignity, value and gifts to all people. Our Institutional Core Values
are: Excellence, Community, Respect, Personal Development, Responsible Stewardship
and Integrity. Our staff embrace these values in our day-to day lives
while providing a student-centered, student-first philosophy of service.
As important, Saint Leo University's student services programs are designed to transform
theory into practice to support student learning. Our departments exist to provide services for the
benefit and needs of Saint Leo University students. The Division of Student Services
encompasses a broad range of programs and services including the Offices of Campus Life
(including the offices of greek affairs, international students, judicial affairs, leadership,
residence life, student activities, and student involvement), Campus Security & Safety,
Career & Counseling Services, Dining Services, and the Health & Wellness Center. I hope you take advantage
of the information provided on this web site, however, more importantly I hope you have an opportunity
to meet members of this talented staff. In support of the Institutional mission and Core Values, our divisional mission is to be acknowledged for our
outstanding service to students; recognized as responsible servants to our communities; known as
innovative and student centered practitioners; and regarded as one of the premier student services
programs in the country.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at (352) 588-8992.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Posner
Assistant Vice President for Student Services
