“First we must recognize that a college or university, once having admitted a student, has an obligation to do what it can to help the student stay and graduate.” - Vincent Tinto

Mission Collaborate with students to create a culture of enrichment and achievement through our commitment to holistic and individualized support. We strive to educate, equip and empower students to fully engage in their academic improvement and the pursuit of personal and academic success.

Vision The Office of Student Enrichment & Achievement honors the humanity and diversity of all students and respects the dignity and uniqueness of each student’s journey. We work to empower students to achieve and maintain good academic standing, make timely progress through their degree program, and persist to graduation. Each member of our team promotes the well-being and autonomy of our students as they develop into well-rounded members of the global community

Core Value – Accountability & Support We expect students to strive for personal and academic success. Through guidance and mentorship, we help students push through challenges they encounter along the way and build a network of support that includes and extends beyond our office.

Core Value – Diversity & Inclusion We honor and celebrate the uniqueness of each person and welcome every student as they navigate our institution. We help students see themselves as multifaceted individuals who embrace and respect the differences within our ever-changing world.

Core Value – Collaboration We forge true partnerships with our students as they move through interdependence to autonomy. Working with the broader UMSL Community, we guide students in cultivating supportive relationships across campus.

Core Value – Academic Development We challenge students to think critically and use metacognitive strategies to advance their academic pursuits. We provide nonjudgmental support and equip students with tools for success through our coaching and targeted interventions
