Learning,
leadership, faith and service – on and off campus
Learning, leadership, faith and service are our values – the
cornerstones of a DWU education. From the minute you step on campus,
others will encourage you to get involved. This emphasis on involvement
makes for valuable friendships with people from diverse backgrounds.
Mentoring relationships with faculty and staff advisers, as well
as with peer mentors will help you develop your skills. With over
20 student organizations ranging from academic clubs to a student-run
newspaper, you’re sure to find something you like.
Students also gain valuable experience by working in a number of
paid and volunteer jobs on campus. Students serve as resident assistants,
Ambassadors (orientation leaders), elected officers in the student-run
Student Association Senate, and even as liaisons to the DWU Board
of Trustees. |
