Current Students
Meet the Student Affairs Team


 

The Student Affairs team at St. Jerome's University exists to facilitate and encourage a transformative student experience. Our team works to create healthy and accessible learning environments, to encourage students to take ownership and accountability in advocating for their own unique student experience, and to foster opportunities for growth and leadership development.

 

If you have any questions, or suggestions about how we can support you during your time at SJU, please let us know. Our doors are always open.
