Welcome to the University of St. Thomas! As you embark on this phase of your higher education, we sincerely invite you to participate in all that the St. Thomas community offers. The Division of Student Affairs at St. Thomas provides services and programs for students as they pursue their education both in the curricular and co-curricular environment.

We offer opportunities for you to become involved in one of the over 110 clubs and organizations, compete on one of our 20 varsity sports teams, or to participate in the Commuter Center or the residence hall community. You can make connections through the Campus Life office, International Student Services, Multicultural Student Services, Child Development Center, Dean of Student’s Office, Student Health Services, Personal Counseling and Testing, Career Development Center, Residence Life office, Life Work Center, Box Office or Wellness Center. We know that you will find activities and resources within the Division of Student Affairs that will complement and enhance your collegiate experience.

Our Student Affairs staff are committed to serving the needs of undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students through a variety of co-curricular programs. We create a sense of community throughout the campus that supports and fosters the  education of students to be morally responsible leaders who think critically, act wisely, and work skillfully to advance the common good. We encourage you to get involved in your St. Thomas community and we look forward to your contributions to our community.

You chose an excellent time to come to St. Thomas. We are in the midst of a capital campaign that promises to enrich your student experience through new sources of financial aid, an info commons that will enhance your access to technology, a new athletic and fitness center and the state of the art, Anderson Student Center. Please look at the capital campaign website for more details about these exciting initiatives.

I look forward to welcoming you in person to the campus. If you ever need assistance, I encourage you to stop by my office or any other Student Affairs office. You and your student experience at the University of St. Thomas are the very reason we are here.

Sincerely,

Jane Canney
