Welcome to the Student Affairs page for the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine! Student Affairs is a true learning-oriented organization that encourages and supports students' continuous personal, professional and group growth and development as well as goal achievement by advocating and establishing a holistic approach to educating students. This includes fostering an environment that supports the student learning process and recognizes the value of the information curriculum and support services as learning experiences. The developmental nature of learning implies both a holistic and temporal perspective on the learning process, involving the development of an integrated sense of identity and identifying oneself as a future physician. This must encompass all aspects of the educational experience.

Student Affairs advances student learning and contributes to a more powerful educational experience through:

 

  • Linking student learning opportunities, services and programs so that they can be accessed easily and build on one another, resulting in a robust learning environment
  • Creating and promoting innovative student life programs and experiences
  • Promoting a development of community
  • Helping students understand themselves and how they relate to others; developing values, attitudes and behaviors by students for their education and lifelong learning
  • Serving as a resource for students and faculty in improving learning
  • Enforcing high standards of student behavior and the expectation that students be responsible for their own personal, professional and academic growth and development

Please explore this web site for more information on our support and encouragement of student success in medical school and in the profession of medicine!
