Give to DMS
DMS focuses on student success where fostering positive connections to campus through the lens of holistic, engaging and meaningful experiences with fellow students is paramount. As such, the department partners with campus units and other stakeholders to help meet student transition, social belonging, communication, collaborative teamwork and career preparedness needs which all work together to aid in students’ retention, persistence, graduation and successful transition into their professional roles. The focus of the department is to not see students in a box but to see each student individually, work to meet them where they are, and support them along their Aggie journey.
The DMS Student Excellence Fund was created to ensure the perpetuity of incorporating holistic student engagement and student development into student’s Aggie journey.
With your support, we can continue our legacy of Development of competencies. Meaningful connection. Success of students.
