Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Academic Support: Academic support is provided under the leadership of the Provost and Associate Provost. Faculty are supported by the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence, whose mission is to support all Dominican faculty (both full-time and part-time), at all stages of their careers, in their roles as teachers, scholars, and citizens of the University and wider communities. Student support, including undergraduate and graduate tutoring programs, is provided by the Academic Learning Resources department and the Academic Enrichment Center. Beginning the first year and extending beyond graduation, Career Development, part of the Academic Enrichment Center, actively assists students of all majors with career-related issues, educating them about the career planning process, internships, job search strategies and the graduate/professional school application process as they transition from college to career. The mission of the Rebecca Crown Library mandates the academic support of students, faculty, and staff for resources and services. In addition to supplying print and electronic materials, services such as reference, circulation, interlibrary loan and instruction provide means through which the university Mission may be realized. The library houses a collection of over 300,000 volumes and subscribes to more than 18,000 journals, many of which are available electronically through over 120 databases. The library is a partial depository for U.S. government publications and maintains special collections and archival materials. The library currently houses 34% of all publications printed by the Government Printing Office, the federal agency responsible for publishing information produced by the Federal Government. The collection offers a wide array of publications from all branches of the U.S. government. Collected formats include print, microfiche, and CD. The collection's strengths include census materials, the Congressional Record and its predecessor, the Congressional Globe, dating to 1834, and a partial collection of the U.S. Serials Set. Information Technology is responsible for creating and maintaining a technology environment that supports the university's strategic direction by providing a high-quality infrastructure along with superior support services to enable the user community to utilize technologies for enhanced teaching, learning and administration.

Activity 3

Student Services and Athletics: Undergraduate Admissions and the Financial Aid Office are led by the Vice President for Enrollment Management. A freshman class of 416 full-time students was enrolled in 2011. The Vice President coordinates graduate recruitment with the individual colleges. Financial aid for all students, including participation in the U.S. Department of Education's student financial assistance programs, is managed by the Financial Aid Office. The office is audited each year under the compliance requirements of OMB Circular A-133. Student services include the Dean of Students office, providing leadership and supervision to student affairs while serving as a liaison between administration and students and working with the community to develop policy regarding student life; the campus Wellness Center, offering a full array of health care, counseling, and wellness services and programs; the Student Involvement Office, which supports student clubs and organizations and offers leadership training, intramural activities, and other campus activities; and Athletics. The Department of Athletics provides intercollegiate competition opportunities for the student-athletes of Dominican University who have the experience and talent to compete at the intercollegiate level regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or orientation. The overall mission of the department is to provide an experience that will enhance the participant's level of self-esteem, self-motivation and self-actualization through mental and physical training, team dynamics and competitive participation. It is intended that the benefits derived from the sport experience will positively impact many aspects of the student-athlete's life and will serve as a complement to the rigorous academic environment of Dominican University.
