Mission Statement

The SAS Statement of Philosophy more clearly provides the rationale for our role at Calvin:

We believe God challenges Calvin to develop students' gifts of knowledge, understanding, and critical thinking so that they may make manifest his Kingdom. Connecting God's calling with the complex teaching and learning process requires careful and creative thought. To accomplish this mandate, Calvin sets a high standard for both students and faculty, believing such preparation is foundational for the transformation of culture.

Student Academic Services plays a supportive role in equipping Calvin students. In a fallen world, preparation for kingdom work involves overcoming obstacles such as physical challenges, unique learning styles, and cultural adjustments. We create pathways through these and other obstacles in the learning process. Our purpose focuses on providing a variety of support resources empowering students for academic success.
