Responsible Office: Student Development Approved By: President's Council Approved Date: 7/1/2017 Effective Date: 7/1/2017 Category: Student Description/Purpose: Welcome from Dr. Frank Montecalvo, Vice President for Innovative Partnerships and Student Development Details: Dear Students: Welcome to Saint Francis! This is a great time to be a member of our Saint Francis University Community. I am confident you will have a positive, exciting educational experience. Know we will take every opportunity to assist you in making the most of your University experience. This Student Handbook is a resource that will enhance your experience at Saint Francis University. I hope you take the time to review the Handbook and to become familiar with the policies and procedures that concern a Saint Francis University student. You will find answers to many of your questions in these pages. At Saint Francis your education will not only consist of academic (curricular) classroom experiences but outside of the classroom (co-curricular) experiences as well. Both areas are very important components of your educational experience. Saint Francis University provides many co-curricular opportunities - activities, clubs, organizations, volunteer outreach services and other events for you to join, attend, and enjoy. Specifically, you can see a play, attend a lecture, attend a dance, join a club of your interest, volunteer at Habitat for Humanity, go to Mass, sing in a choir, play an instrument, play intramural sports, or play and attend intercollegiate Division I sports. The list goes on and on. Try to take advantage of as much as you can. There is always something to do or explore at Saint Francis University. Students - reach out, become involved! Your University experience can be some of the best years of your life. Remember, you are now a part of the Saint Francis University family. Embracing this new family along with your immediate family will enable you to go far beyond your dreams. I look forward to meeting and working with you. Sincerely, Dr. Frank C. Montecalvo Vice President for Innovative Partnerships and Student Development |
