The Dean of Students office oversees several departments and initiatives related to student care, campus housing, health and wellness, activities and leadership, and general student thriving at Calvin.

Staff within the Dean of Students office are available as a point of contact for students and families in need of support, helping to create links with needed resources. In collaboration with the CARE Team, other campus departments, and local community agencies, the Dean of Students office is often involved in responding to student crisis needs and helping students find the help they need to thrive during their time at Calvin University.
