Mission & Values

 The Office of the Dean of Students empowers and equips students through its commitment to advocacy, support, and mattering and belonging. Our departments assist students personally, socially, and academically so they flourish at UT.

By embracing a dynamic and comprehensive approach, our departments offer experiences and services that are transformational to students and that reflect the mission and vision of the Division of Student Life and UT.
