Leadership & Student Engagement at
Longwood University

▪ Mission Statement ▪

The Offices of the Dean of Students and Volunteer & Service Learning collaborate to develop citizen leaders that can meet the demands of today’s complex world.  To this end, these offices provides meaningful service and leadership opportunities for individual and groups of students in the surrounding community and on campus.

By participating in these service and leadership opportunities students will develop:

• an awareness of social issues;
• a sense of community and civic engagement;
• an appreciation for those who are different than themselves;
• skills and strategies that will prepare them to be catalyst for change;
• an understanding of citizen leadership that can inform the way they live and lead.
