General differences between Student Life and Student Services
Student Life & Student Services at KVCC
Here at KVCC we have what we consider to be Student Life amenities and Student Services amenities. Student Life focuses on those departments and employees who work directly with students on a day-to-day basis and often times develop a rapport that lasts longer than what occurs in Student Services. Student Services amenities pertain more to the types of college business that our students need to get done to be able to stay in school. Examples of each are below.
Departments/Services within Student Life:
Marden Center for Student Success (Tutoring, Disability Services)
TRiO (Student Support Services)
Advising, Career & Transfer
Student Development
Early College for ME
Lunder Library
Food For Thought Cafι
Departments/Services within Student Services:
Financial Aid
Bursar/Cashier Office
Admissions
Maintenance
Academic Affairs/Registrar
A thirty minute tour of any campus can reveal much about its essential environmental characteristics and dynamics (Komives & Woodard, 2003).
