  3. Provide assistance and services to promote diversity, cultural richness, and full membership of all students within the college community.
  4. Attending to students who have particular needs related to factors such as minority status, disability, health, financial resources, or nontraditional status.
  5. Supporting a college environment that is safe and promotes students' intellectual inquiry and responsible decision-making.
  6. Promoting leadership by training and supervising students who conduct activities on behalf of the division.
  7. Promoting good Student Life and housing.
