About Student Affairs
Our greatest success comes from the success of our students.
We are a resource for all students
Student Affairs services range from housing to health and counseling services, to the Ole Miss Student Union, to leadership and advocacy, to career services and so much more.
Student Affairs enriches the student experience outside of the classroom. We work hard to support the emotional and physical needs of students. This is accomplished through a variety of student support services and programs offered by the departments within Student Affairs.
