Student Engagement
The Office of Student Engagement strives to create a vibrant, purposeful, and supportive college community where students make a difference, develop healthy and meaningful relationships with others, advocate for their interests, learn about themselves, and develop leadership and life skills.
Student Success
Through advising and programming, we help students learn about available opportunities and resources and make decisions about when and how to take advantage of them. We work with students through their educational and personal Bryn Mawr journey, both inside and outside the classroom, understanding that successes and struggles in one area are likely to affect other areas as well.
