The Division of Student Affairs acts as the principal advocate for Tufts students and for campus life. Overseen by the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs, the Division serves both the undergraduate and graduate student population in the schools of Arts & Science and Engineering.

The primary goal of the Division is to help all students feel welcome and safe at the university while helping them take advantage of the rich opportunities and resources available at Tufts. Campus-wide departments foster and facilitate co-curricular activities and support systems.
