Student Affairs contributes to the College’s purposes and objectives by establishing and maintaining an environment in which learning can take place. Learning, in theis context, includes not only academic subjects, but also understanding and appreciating different cultures and value structures. Student Affairs also provides an atmosphere in which students can discover more about themselves, their environment, and their religious heritage. The residence hall system at Newberry College is an integral part of this educational experience. Other dimensions of Student Affairs are student government, intramurals, career planning, wellness services, special interest clubs, student publications, fraternities and sororities, films, and dances.
