Student Affairs is a broadly conceived area in the School of Medicine, touching the life of every student from application through graduation and beyond. The Office for Student Affairs serves as the official liaison between the student body and the University faculty and administration, along with serving various student needs in cognitive and non-cognitive areas of growth; it coordinates the School of Medicine's curriculum and educational programs, and oversees the academic performance of each medical student, and his or her preparation for graduate medical education. The Associate Dean for Student Affairs manages the administration of these diverse but related functions, thus both supervising the quality of student life and representing the student body in the administration.
 
The Office for Student Affairs keeps step with students as the many new situations, responsibilities, challenges, and stresses of medical school unfold and are confronted. Students have the major responsibility for managing their personal lives and for meeting the requirements of the School of Medicine. Student Affairs has the responsibility to assist them to realize their goals, thereby maximizing their potential for excellence as a physician, officer, and human being. A visible, pragmatic concern exists for the well-being and success of students. Students Affairs will interact with individuals or groups as indicated or requested, and services are available at any time.
