A. DEPARTMENT OF CAMPUS LIFE
The purpose of the Department of Campus Life Program is to complement the

and educational opportunities.
Student Services Committee
-The Student Services Committee is made up of faculty,
staff, and students. In an attempt to meet the varied needs and interests of the student
body, the committee concentrates its efforts in planning recreational, social, educational,
and cultural activities.
In addition to what is planned by the committee, individual students, chartered clubs, and
organizations are encouraged to develop programs that meet the special needs of the
campus community. All programs and activities must be approved by the Assistant Dean
for Campus Life and/or the Vice President for Student Affairs. The Peer Tutoring Program,
intramural sports, family activities, beach parties, variety programs, clubs, plays, and
concerts are just a few examples of programs offered through Campus Life.

charge to Darton students. Interested students should check with their instructors or in C-
