The Division of Student Affairs is the hub of student life and well-being at The University of Texas at Austin. The team inspires all students — undergraduate, graduate and professional — to live the Longhorn life through its uniquely-designed programs, spaces and resources. They serve the whole student through physical health, mental health and well-being services; new student and family orientations; recreational sports; two university unions; and the University’s official parent association. The Division supports 1,000+ student organizations; student governance organizations; student emergency, veteran, legal, and disability and access services. The team also provides student employment; internship, leadership, first generation and community engagement programs.
