Offices of Under the direction of the Dean of Students, the college has developed a broad program of student personnel services in the belief that true education involves the entire person, his intellectual developments; his vocations inter¬ ests, aptitudes, and skills; his emotional balance; his social relationships; his moral and religious values; his physical health; and his aesthetic appreciations. These services are individualized and kept flexible to meet the varying needs of students as they enroll and progress toward their educa¬ tional, vocational, and personal objectives. The basic assumption of the student personnel program is that stu¬ dents will welcome opportunities and services which will assist them in developing their capacities to the fullest. Among the top administrative offices in this personnel program are these three: Dean of Students, coordinating and administering the various divisions of the student per¬ sonnel program in the carrying out of their responsibilities for the many phases of student life outside the classroom; Associate Dean of Students, responsible for the curricula planning of all students in the lower division during the period before they elect their major field of specialization; the Assistant Dean of Students, responsible for the encour¬ agement and development of the educational, cultural, and social aspects of the college residence life, and serves as an advisor to foreign students.
