The mission of the Division of Student Affairs is to advance student success through student-centered, intentional learning and transformative engagement, delivering an unparalleled student experience that prepares purpose-driven leaders.
We are a community of professionals who are student-centered and dedicated to supporting student success.
What that means in practice is this: We do not simply create environments. We actively design experiences. We engage students in ways that complement the classroom. We cultivate their holistic development so students become their best selves.
We invest in our people- our employees and our student leaders-because they drive impact every day.
We focus on connection. On wellbeing. On growth rooted in purpose.
And we take action- designing unparalleled experiences that transform engagement into learning and leadership readiness, while also creating vibrant spaces students genuinely enjoy. Spaces filled with energy. Community. And moments they will remember long after graduation.

“Georgia Southern was the best choice because it is a large university, but in a small town where so much focus is on the University and college life…it’s such a close community that being a part of it gave me the confidence to become more independent and grow. The people here become like family, and they are what made me feel like I have a home here too.”

Voter Friendly Campus
Georgia Southern has received a Voter Friendly Campus designation for 2025-26. The 2025 Voter Friendly Campus designation promotes colleges and university efforts to help students overcome barriers to participate in political processes every year. Georgia Southern was evaluated based on a written plan for how they planned to register, educate and turnout student voters in 2024, how they facilitated voter engagement efforts on campus, and upon a final analysis of the university’s efforts.
