"As a critical part of MIT's educational mission, the Division of
Student Life (DSL) leads campus efforts to set new standards for
excellence in integrating living and learning at the Institute. We
work to foster a safe, healthy and supportive environment for the MIT
community that maximizes well-being and the development of skills for
a balanced life. DSL places service to students as the highest
priority for its staff, programs, services and facilities. We partner
with others including students, MIT Faculty, Staff and Alumni/Alumnae
to enable and maintain a campus community founded on personal and
group responsibility, fairness and respect, where individual
differences are expected and appreciated and learning is fundamental."
