VISION:

Collis Center & Student Activities will focus on discovery, learning, and civic engagement.  We envision a seamless learning environment balanced with challenge and support, comfort and flexibility, and contemporary culture and tradition.  With appropriate resources and lively spaces, Collis Center & Student Activities will be central to Dartmouth's daily life.

MISSION:

Collis Center & Student Activities believes co-curricular learning opportunities are vital in developing student leadership and life skills.  We act as a catalyst to engage students outside the classroom by:

  • providing training
  • advising
  • mentoring to students and organization advisors
  • offering/creating developmental student employment opportunities
  • fostering interactions among all members of the College community
  • maintaining programming spaces and resources for student-focused initiatives that enrich our campus culture

We are guided in our mission by the following CORE VALUES: 

DISCOVERY - creating opportunities for learning beyond the classroom

CONNECTIONS - building intentional relationships to enhance engagement in the campus community

COMMUNITY - respect for others and the creation of safe and inclusive environment

INNOVATION - design and support programs, venues and resources that cultivate student expression

EXCELLENCE - critical assessment and use of appropriate resources to achieve successful outcomes

BALANCE - commitment to personal and professional life, growth and resource management
