Division Goals

Through a rigorous process of discussion and debate, the leadership of the Division identified six goals.  To achieve our vision and mission, we will work collectively and strategically toward the following goals (listed in alphabetical order): 

  1. Assessment and evaluation
  2. Communication and collaboration
  3. Professional development
  4. Program and service development
  5. Student learning and development
  6. Technology enhancement

All departments within the Division are expected to make a contribution to each goal.  Mission achievement is dependent upon our collective effort to work towards shared goals.  The essence of our mission—to help students attain their educational, personal and career goals—will be achieved through resolute commitment to excellence.

We believe each goal is

  • Consistent with the mission, vision, and values of Temple University;
  • Essential to our success as a Division of Student Affairs and educators in the University community;
  • Broad and inclusive enough for every department within the Division to make a meaningful contribution;
  • Fundamental to our work as student affairs professionals; and
  • Based on the best interest of Temple students and staff.
