Providing services and a sense of belonging for all UAA commuter students.

Commuter Student Services provides opportunities for students to naturally connect with one another and promote an ethos of belonging as well as engagement into the advancement within the UAA community.

The program's vision is that every UAA student is valued, integrated, supported, challenged, involved and engaged through our programs services.

Commuter Student Services facilitates student success through programs and services that connect students to campus and community organizations, activities, civic engagement and their peers; advocates on behalf of students regarding their issues and concerns; and enriches classroom learning with relevant extra-curricular and co-curricular programs and services.

        UAA commuter student services desires to create an enviroment in which all commuter students feel like they belong. There are numerous opportunities, experiences, and adventures to meet people, and enjoy the vitality of UAA community. Belonging is a crucial piece of the educational process and human experience. Belonging is longing to be.
 

"Being is our capacity to find deeper purpose in all we do. It is the capacity to be present and discover our authenticity and whole selves."
 

"Community is the container within which our longing to be is fulfilled. Without the connectedness of community, we will continue to choose not to be."
