Lindenwood University is committed to the development of the whole person within a value system that acknowledges the university’s Christian heritage and focuses on four-dimensional personal growth: mental, social, physical and spiritual. Student Development helps students to establish good learning skills; gain a broad range of knowledge and understanding about the arts, humanities and sciences; obtain social and physical enjoyment through athletic and recreational activities and special events; grow in capacity for work, achievement and leadership; and experience self-discovery and personal fulfillment that will serve a lifetime.
The University Community seeks to foster peace and harmony by maintaining order and stability. Policies and rules help to establish order and serve the common good. The Lindenwood University Community is a voluntary society that asks you as its member to possess a loyalty to the institution and personal commitment to growth, education and the community.
Message from the Vice President for Student Development
Lindenwood University has a proud legacy of educating men and women who demonstrate academic excellence, ethical leadership and a commitment to positive social change. At Lindenwood, we believe the journey to intellectual, spiritual, and internal growth is accomplished by providing outstanding academic programs and complementing them with meaningful development opportunities. Therefore, we offer an intellectually stimulating community that fosters a love of life-long learning, promotes global awareness, and fosters self-reliance and hard work both inside and outside the classroom.
By joining the Lindenwood community, you become an integral component of a community of diverse cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives. Your life will be enriched and transformed by your experience. We also expect Lindenwood will be enriched as a result of your participation. We invite your leadership, scholarship, activism, service, creativity and involvement.
The Student Development Office is committed to Lindenwood's educational mission. Our staff members are devoted to creating a campus environment that supports your needs. We offer a broad range of programs and activities that are designed to assist in your success. In many respects, whether you reside on campus or commute, your engagement in student life will help determine the quality of your collegiate experience. We hope that you will take advantage of the numerous opportunities available to you.
The Lindenwood University Student Handbook provides you with important information about the organizations, resources, and key dates. It also outlines the responsibilities and expectations of members of the Lindenwood community. It is especially important that students read "An Understanding of Commitment" and "Campus Policy/Student Conduct" as both sections specifically apply to you. It is the responsibility of each student to be aware of university policies, procedures, regulations, and general information.
I urge you to take the time to acquaint yourself with this website and our student handbook and use both as your personal guide for a successful student career at Lindenwood University. I wish you great success in what can be considered some of the most important years of your life.
With Warm Regards,
Dr. John Oldani
VP-Student Development
