The Division of Student Affairs contributes to the achievement of this mission by providing excellent services that support students’ needs and engaging programs that enrich students’ learning about themselves and others.
With this focus, we recognize that there are opportunities for learning everywhere: in the classroom or library, across the city or around the globe, in the residence halls, on the playing field, in reflective solitude, or in interactions with others of different backgrounds and experiences. Campus life at John Carroll is full of opportunities to get involved, including our residential living-learning communities, intramural and club sports, vocal and instrumental groups, fraternities and sororities as well as more than 90 student organizations.
You are sure to find a few that capture your interests, and we encourage you to get involved with them! As you do so, we challenge you to develop your unique talents, to lead others with compassion and integrity, to engage with and celebrate diversity, and to contribute to the betterment of our community and of society.
