Student Affairs is an umbrella term to describe several offices that work closely with students and groups in the areas of residence life, student activities, counseling, community service, health, food service, and spiritual life.

Staff members are committed to creating a safe, engaging purposeful learning environment that integrates curricular and co-curricular experiences. All of the departments seek to create fulfilling learning and social experiences that add to the learning environment at Endicott.

Endicott students come from diverse social, cultural, and economic backgrounds, creating a diverse experience for all students. our students come from across the United States and dozens of foreign countries. A celebration of these backgrounds allows students to truly experience a variety of cultures and traditions enriching their own personal experiences.

Endicott provides two opportunities to assist newly admitted students and their families in the transition to higher education academics, campus life, and the Endicott community.  The Endicott experience begins with Summer Orientation where new students and their families participate in an intensive, overnight orientation program. The summer orientation is designed to assist students in building relationships critical to their success at the College. Workshops and interactive sessions engage students and their families in academic and co-curricular activities, thus introducing new students to Endicott’s standards and expectations for academic progress and community involvement. Students are also introduced to their summer reading assignment which is designed to unite them in a shared intellectual discourse. Finally, orientation gives the College community an opportunity to answer student and family questions and concerns before the academic year starts.

Prior to the start of classes, Fall Orientation assists students with the transition to academic life on campus. During the fall orientation, students meet with faculty and staff to enhance their understanding of their respective schools and programs. Students will also have the opportunity to review their schedules and address any questions or concerns before the first day of classes. Orientation concludes with participation in a traditional Convocation ceremony.

Academic and professional growth is only part of the development of students’ talents, interests, and abilities. The Student Activities Office coordinates a variety of programs on campus including educational speakers, concerts, movie nights, off-campus trips, beach days, and much more. Each month, students receive a calendar that highlights all the events happening around campus. The Blue Buzz weekly newsletter is a great resource for following all the events happening on campus. Student Activities supports more than 50 clubs and organizations, representing a wide variety of interests.

The Endicott College Student Government Association (SGA) is a student-led leadership organization providing an official channel through which student opinion may be recognized and considered in the formulation and execution of College policy. The SGA is the student voice for the Endicott student body, acting as a liaison for students to the College administration, faculty, staff, and alumni. It also maintains a strong working relationship with other campus-based leadership organizations, providing collegial opportunities for student leadership, campus involvement, and personal growth. The SGA is an advocate for those important issues that will enhance the educational, social, and career development opportunities of Endicott students. The SGA serves as an outlet for student viewpoints, promoting student participation in campus life, and exploring creative solutions to vital issues that affect the campus and the greater Endicott community.

Endicott’s comprehensive leadership programs are designed to meet the needs and interests of undergraduate students at various stages in their development. Any student can be a leader, so a variety of avenues for skills building are offered. These include the REACH peer education program, the LIGHThouse Leadership Society, the Student Government Association, positions as resident assistants and/or orientation leaders, along with many other opportunities.

The Community Service Office offers students a wide variety of service opportunities, civic engagement, and community leadership. Students may volunteer for one-time service projects with groups such as the Special Olympics and Habitat for Humanity, or they may choose to become involved in ongoing projects such as America Reads, food pantries or community meals, and youth programs. Through the federal work study program, students may choose to apply to work at one of several non-profit sites off campus. There is also an alternative spring break program, usually in March, for which participants are chosen through an application process.

The College recognizes that many students experience personal difficulties that can have a significant negative impact on their academic success. In order to help students cope with the personal challenges they face, the Counseling Center provides individual and group counseling, implements programming on issues relevant to college-aged students, assists during crisis situations, and is a resource for referral to both on-campus and community support services. Confidential counseling is available to all currently enrolled Endicott students at no charge.
