Dean of Students – The University of Utah

Mission Statement

We support student well-being and success by providing care, promoting accountability,
and encouraging individual growth and development.

Our Purpose

The Office of the Dean of Students works to advocate, support, and develop students
as they navigate their time at the University of Utah. We create and offer educational
and leadership experiences that help students thrive in a communal environment. We
actively engage in conversations that promote compassionate, welcoming, and safe campus
communities. In working with students, we are responsive to their needs and assist
them in their academic and personal endeavors. In addition to these core principles,
the ODOS serves as an advocate for students facing challenges to their success as
students and work to empower students to know and understand their rights and responsibilities
as members of our community.
