Message from the Assistant Vice President for Student Life

I am pleased to welcome you to the 2009-2010 academic year. Your education and personal development as students, leaders, and citizens are central to the mission of the Division of Student Life and Emporia State University. The Student Life professionals at ESU are dedicated individuals who are excited to have the opportunity to work with you as you grow and develop, ultimately achieving your greatest educational goal: graduation! A wide range of resources is offered to assist you as you progress through your college experience. This handbook lists many of those resources; however, the

greatest resource of all is our people. One of the best pieces of advice I can offer to new and returning students is to make an effort to get to know your faculty, your Resident Assistant, your SWARM mentor, or any other member of the University community. Building relationships and connections will help in creating a solid foundation as a university student. If you are not sure where to go, come to my office at 205 Plumb Hall, or call 341-5267, or e-mail me at <lhobson@emporia.edu>. The Division of Student Life staff and I look forward to getting to know you and working with you to achieve your goals of a great education and graduation.

I wish you success in the 2009-2010 academic year.

Lynn M. Hobson
Assistant Vice President for Student Life
