About Student Affairs

Welcome From the Vice President for Student Affairs

Welcome to the University of Louisville. This is a fantastic time to be a part of the Cardinal family. Student involvement is extremely high, services for students are rapidly improving, recreational activities have never been more popular, and ideas to create a vibrant and exciting campus life are being enacted daily.

One of the most popular activities on campus is recreational sports. For those students that enjoy working out in the fitness center you will find "state of the art" equipment and an extremely professional staff to assist you. However, the strength of recreational sports has always been its team sports. Football and basketball have surpassed all previous records for student involvement. Where can you find over 1,100 participants in flag football or over 800 student participants in spring basketball?  Louisville.

One of the premier Career Services departments across the United States is right here at Louisville. Last semester Career Services relocated to its recently renovated new location in Houchen’s. Career Services exists to assist students to find their career choice, improve their skills, and to connect employers to faculty and students. Whether you are a freshmen or graduate student, you should find your way to Career Services and work with the talented individuals whose greatest priority is to assist you.

One of the signature programs on campus is the International Service Learning Program (ISLP). ISLP is an opportunity for any student to travel internationally to assist others in a service-learning activity. This year 30 students from several different majors traveled to Belize to teach in the local schools and provide dental care in Independence and the Red Bank. If you have ever wondered how you could make a difference in this world, this is one of those ways. Working side by side professors and administrators the student participants spent seven days and nights using their skills to help others. One of the greatest gifts you can provide as a member of this "educated" community is your ability to help others in need.

If you are not a student yet – we hope you become one soon. UofL is an amazing campus with amazing pride and innovation. Driven by strong values, UofL is a leader in student research, athletics, student involvement, social justice, and student activism.

Become a Cardinal and join the family. Have a great semester!
