What is the Student Development Office?

Posted in

Many students come to the student center here at KSU to try and find a "place" to hang out, to study, and to make friends. Our Student Development office is a great place for students to come to get plugged in here at KSU. Our office assists specific student populations in their journey to attaining a college degree. Specific student populations include international, multicultural, non-traditional, and students with disabilities. Events and activities from Student Development are designed to enhance participation in university life and to foster academic and personal enrichment. This department also coordinates student volunteers with volunteer service opportunities through Volunteer KSU and provides new students with the opportunity to be matched with a mentor through the Odyssey Peer Mentoring program.
