The Strategic Plan for Student Life

The University of Delaware Division of Student Life has launched our strategic plan for creating and providing the best possible student experience to all of our Blue Hens. 

By researching student needs and desires, evaluating our unique contributions to student success, incorporating our current priorities and receiving input from our staff, we were able to establish strategic priorities and objectives to shape the Division's path forward.

The Division of Student Life is excited to put this strategy into action. We encourage you to read through our plan and hope you will join us in creating an unparalleled student experience!
