The Division of Student Experience at Youngstown State University enhances students’ collegiate experience by providing an environment conducive to cultivating relationships, creating a sense of belonging, encouraging personal growth and responsibility, and developing a strong set of interpersonal and professional skills. Through the programs and services offered by the units within our Division, students will learn the value of civic engagement, cultural awareness, and gain an appreciation for diverse perspectives. We foster a sense of respect for our community that also promotes pride and loyalty for YSU while creating lasting memories.
