Vision

The UNC Asheville Student Activities Department is built upon a foundation of programming excellence, the provision of outstanding facilities, and the efforts of highly qualified and enthusiastic professional and student staff. Programs and services provided by the department result in the highest student participation rate on campus.

Reflective of our commitment to the University mission, the programs, services, academic partnerships, and community service projects we support allow students to learn, grow and develop through experiential education, collaboration, role modeling, and leadership opportunities.  

Innovation, planning, resiliance, and a commitment to enhancing our community enables the Student Activities Department to take full advantage of its human, physical, and financial resources and be fully connected with the changing interests and needs of the student body. We implement resourceful practices in recycling, reducing, and reusing to decrease our carbon footprint and  help our students learn to do the same. 

Through participation, we enhance the sociological and psychological well-being of each individual, foster community, form lasting memories, and instill a sense of belonging to the institution.  We teach students meaningful life skills, encourage personal achievement, and develop involved and responsible citizens.
