     The Department of Stud- 
     
     ent Services is that seg— 
     
     ment of the University 
     
     which is primarily concer- 
     
     ned an a day tolday basis 
     
     ‘with student life and 
     
     learning opportunities 
     
     outside the classroom. 
     
     'The ultimate purpose of 
     
     Student Services is to 
     
     facilitate students pers— 
     
     onal growth, organizational 
     
     development and explor- 
     
     ation of talent and abil— 
     
     ities in order that they 
     
     more effectively express 
     
     and contribute to the 
     
     social milieu. The work 
     
     of all personnel in the 
     
     department of Student 
     
     Services serve this pur- 
     
     pose either directly or 
     
     indirectly. 
     
    

    
     The Department of Stud- 
     
     ent Services was estab- 
     
     lished in 1967 by St. 
     
     Dunstan's University in 
     
     an effort to better serve 
     
     the increasing needs and 
     
     demands of the students. 
     
     Since thatxtime the dep-' 
     
     artment has expanded to
