Student Life

A diverse and engaged community where staff and students develop into globally conscious, compassionate humans of integrity.

We empower our students to develop into individuals with a sense of belonging, capable of creating healthy communities.

We do this by:

• creating and facilitating clear policies
• providing critical care and support
• fostering intentional and inclusive experiences

The deans of students and the entire division of student life staff and student leaders collaborate to foster an engaged community dedicated to student development, where living honorably is our long-standing tradition.

Campus Activities at Sewanee, through its programs, organizations, and events, coordinates and implements cultural, educational, recreational, and social co-curricular activities that contribute to the University’s purpose of the development of the whole person through a liberal arts education.

We have some of the oldest chapters in the nation. What makes Greek life at Sewanee a bit different from other campuses is that most sorority-and-fraternity sponsored events are open to the entire campus. It's one of the most welcoming Greek life practices around.

The Residential Life Staff at Sewanee work to foster EQB with the over 98% of undergraduates living on campus. Review more information for incoming and current students, leadership positions, housing options and so much more below.

The Sewanee Outing Program (SOP) gives students the chance to explore Sewanee’s 13,000-acre campus, the surrounding region, and wilderness areas across the United States.
