Core Values

The following values are central to the Division of Student Affairs and guide how we do our work and fulfill our mission.

Students and Community

We are committed to creating a community that encourages and practices civility, compassion, and care for others. We understand that how we work and provide services directly impacts the student experience. We therefore strive to work together to create connections and relationships that help us respond to the needs of our students.   

Inclusion

We foster the development and preservation of an inclusive community characterized by cultural understanding and student engagement. We are committed to the recruitment and retention of a diverse staff that reflects the students we serve and providing intentional experiences where students learn from each other.  

Learning

As educators, we understand that learning occurs both inside and outside the classroom. We facilitate a supportive campus environment that contributes to student learning and personal development. Additionally, we seek to inspire students to be engaged citizens within the Rutgers community and beyond.   

Integrity

We believe that staff members must uphold the highest standards and principles. Ethics and integrity are characterized by trust and respect for each other, collaborative decision-making, appropriate use of university resources, service to students, and the utilization of best practices within the field of student affairs and higher education.  

Tradition and Pride

We believe that our history, institutional pride, and university traditions foster shared experiences, connections, and contribute to life-long memories and affinity with Rutgers.
