Office of Student Affairs (OSA)

Introduction
The Office of Student Affairs (OSA) contributes to the educational mission of the University by offering services, programs and opportunities to students that nurture personal growth and help them towards the fulfillment of their needs and ambitions. Above all, the Office provides an exemplary living and learning environment that fosters engagement and innovation, enabling students to have a positive impact and act as agents of change in their respective communities. The OSA employs full-time and part-time dedicated team members who serve student needs and support their activities.

In addition to honoring the campus values of knowledge, openness, excellence, collaboration and caring, OSA staff and faculty members are guided by the following principles:

  • - Maintaining high standards of ethical behavior and personal integrity
  • - Respecting diversity and serving all students without discrimination
  • - Fostering innovation and leadership
  • - Promoting civic engagement and supporting projects that increase public awareness


The office shifted into student centered operation during the last five years. All projects initiated by the office are in partnership with student committees or clubs. This policy has been adopted in an attempt to enhance the sense of ownership and belonging among students. 
Moreover, the office depends particularly on its social media platforms which show increasingly high interaction and engagement levels hence portraying a positive image about campus life to the Balamand community.
