About New Student & Family Programs
We are the Division of Student Life
A campus community where every student belongs and the student experience matters.
The Division of Student Life (DSL) believes that every SF State student should belong and matter, has the capacity to live a purposeful life, and can positively impact the world.
To that end, the Division of Student Life (DSL) team at SF State facilitates student-centered learning through personal, professional, community, and academic engagement, culminating in a transformational experience.

Vision Statement
Inspire new students and their families to celebrate their stories and embrace a future full of possibilities.

Our Mission
New Student and Family Programs believes, through meaningful and sincere connections, new students and their families benefit from engaging with a community of peers, staff, and faculty who facilitate the transition and support the adjustment to a university that values educational equity, academic excellence, and social justice.

Our Goals
-
Build a campus community based on values of inclusion and support through peer mentorship and campus-wide social events, as well as offer opportunities for parents and families to build meaningful connections with their students and each other.
-
Create opportunities for students to build meaningful relationships and partake in engaged learning through the Orientation Leader program and Gator Mentors.
-
Make sure students know about the resources available to them on campus and encourage them to utilize them.
-
Carry out the University values of social justice and equity through thoughtful practice and action.
-
Encourage students to pursue interests beyond SF State's campus in the city of San Francisco and the greater region of Northern California.
