Campus Life
In collaboration with Woodbury University students, faculty, staff, and families, Student Affairs enriches students’ educational experiences by advocating for their needs and embracing their goals, dreams, and aspirations. We offer opportunities for educational engagement via activities that challenge students to develop academically and personally, providing the support services necessary for them to do so.
Student Life: Building Community, Building Personal Success
Co-curricular opportunities for students facilitated by Student Affairs staff include advising and supporting student organizations such as the Associated Students of Woodbury University (ASWU), the Campus Activity Board (CAB), Greek life, and other professional, cultural, and social groups. Student Affairs also offers a variety of services and programs designed to create a campus environment that complements the academic experience and cultivates the social and personal development of all our students.
The Welcome to Woodbury program is offered to all students at the beginning of each semester. Welcome to Woodbury is designed to help new and continuing students understand Woodbury’s values, become familiar with campus resources and opportunities for involvement, develop relationships, and feel part of the Woodbury community.
Woodbury University believes in cultivating student leaders, both in the shaping of campus and in preparation for shaping their own worlds. The University offers a variety of opportunities for students to lead in meaningful ways:
-
Campus Activity Board (CAB)
-
Resident Advisors (RA)
-
International Peer Advisors (IPA)
-
Academic Peer Mentors (APM)

Tutors
The educational experience at Woodbury extends far beyond classroom work. Student organizations provide opportunities to develop leadership skills, network, contribute to the campus community, and have fun doing it. Student interest drives the development of each organization and students are welcome to work with the Student Affairs staff to start new ones. For a complete list of active student organizations, see the ASWU website (www.aswu.woodbury.edu).
Student activities promote a sense of community by providing students the opportunity to engage in meaningful activities that enhance the social, cultural, and developmental growth of students as individuals or as members of organizations. By engaging members of the University community in collaborative efforts, student activities nurture citizenship, leadership, and community, while striving to assist in the holistic development of students.
Residence life creates engaging, inclusive, and safe environments that support students’ academic endeavors, enhancing the educational experience of each resident by encouraging all students to live cooperatively in a community environment, become involved in the activities and leadership opportunities in the halls, and build meaningful relationships with their fellow students.
