The Department of Campus Life at Ohio University advances student success through involvement and engagement in the University, Athens, and greater communities. We intentionally design opportunities to improve the quality of community life through the development of responsible and ethical leaders and citizens.

We accomplish this mission by:

• Developing environments, programs, and resources to enhance students' leadership capabilities
• Supporting students in creating, leading, and enhancing student organizations
• Connecting students, faculty, and staff to service opportunities that benefit the Athens area while promoting civic responsibility in the greater community
  

We value:

• Modeling the beliefs and behaviors we espouse
• Differences amongst people, cultures, thoughts, and programs
• Mutual respect and understanding
• Ethical and informed decision-making
• Mutually beneficial collaboration and partnerships
• Innovative and progressive planning and delivery of our work
• Intentional and reflective stewardship of our resources
