Student Life

Welcome to Student Life

Student Life works with students, faculty, staff, and community partners to facilitate our students' development through exceptional programs, services, and facilities that foster academic achievement, lifelong learning, and civic engagement. We strive to set new standards for excellence by providing students access to the array of services they need to succeed; academically, professionally, and personally. We create opportunities for our students' civic engagement in Flint, their home communities, and the world.

The Student Life Office is comprised of a variety of professionals with a broad range of training, education, and experience. Students will encounter them throughout campus, in formal and informal settings. Take advantage of them and their expertise for information, advice, and counsel on any aspect of your life at Kettering. If they don't have an answer, they know who does. Contact me with suggestions or comments about the programs and services Student Life provides.
