“The student experience, we believe, will continue to be a differentiator for college-going students in the coming decade. We work to stay fresh and invite new ways of conceiving of student affairs on campus.”
Dr. José-Luis Riera,
Vice President for Student Life
I love working at UD because of the supportive, positive, and collaborative environments created within the Division of Student Life! I always appreciate how everyone is willing to help, not afraid to try something new, or willing to support a program when needed.
I love working for the University of Delaware Division of Student Life because I like contributing to initiatives that support the holistic development of our students. Doing good work with like-minded people who are dedicated to our students’ growth and positive experiences makes my work feel less like a job and more like a valued mission.
