At Grand Valley State University, we’re committed to crafting a campus that’s a safe, vibrant hub—where every student can hit their stride and grow into their best self. Our mission? To ignite a sharper sense of self-awareness in our Lakers and fuel their journey toward becoming switched-on, impactful global citizens. We’re not just here to hand out degrees; we’re here to back you up as you step into a world that needs your voice and vision.
We understand that challenges can arise when student choices do not align with the University's values and policies. Our approach is to work collaboratively with students to address these concerns while exploring the underlying factors influencing their behavior. We are committed to providing clear guidance on the conduct process and ensuring that all individuals are treated fairly and with respect.
Our office serves as a resource for the entire campus community - students, faculty, and staff.
