Student Life & Student Leadership

Announcement: Department Name Change

We are excited to share that the department formerly known as University Student Affairs has been renamed Student Life & Student Leadership (SLL) to better fit the roles and responsibilities of our team. It’s a long name, so you will often see it referred to simply as Student Life or SLL

While our name has evolved, our mission remains the same: to support student organizations, student government, campus programming, and leadership growth across our University. As part of this transition, our departmental email address has changed from studentaffairs@westernu.edu to studentlife@westernu.edu.  To ensure a smooth transition, the former email address will forward messages to the new.

Student Life remains a key department within the Office of Student Success and Student Life, formerly known as University Student Affairs, along with Learning Enhancement and Academic Development (LEAD), Harris Family Center for Disability and Health Policy (CDHP), and the Pumerantz Library to provide a holistic and student-centered experience.

We are excited about this next chapter and look forward to continuing to support and empower our students through opportunities for connection, involvement, and leadership.

If you have any questions regarding this transition, please contact us at studentlife@westernu.edu.

SLL staff are on campus Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. but closed for lunch from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Appointments are not required but are recommended.
