It is my pleasure to welcome you to FAU and the services available through the Division of Student Affairs. The Office of the Associate Dean of Student Affairs is open to any student seeking general advice, counseling, and/or information about the university. There are eight departments in the division of student affairs available in Broward and you can click on any of their links on this page. I invite you to check them out and take advantage of the help and expertise they can give you. Perhaps you need childcare during your school hours. Please check out the link to our joint facility,  BCC/FAU Child Development Center on this page.

We look forward to welcoming you to our FAU Broward community, to celebrating your successes as an FAU student, to being your advocate, and to lending a helping hand or an understanding ear when you're feeling frustrated. My staff and I are here to help you get the support you may need to accomplish your goals.

My office handles general information, health immunizations, and Davie campus parking/traffic citations. Please click on the links on this page for more detailed information. Don't forget to get your FAU decal for parking on the Broward campuses. Without it, you will receive a ticket and might even get towed!  The access fee on your tuition charges covers the cost of your decal. All you need to do is get one at the cashier's office on the Davie, or Downtown Ft. Lauderdale campus.

I invite you to get involved in our student activities. There are areas of interest for everyone from student government to clubs and organizations, from earning service credits with the volunteer center to becoming an orientation leader. Getting involved will enhance your experience at FAU and make it something special. I look forward to greeting you at orientation, sharing a cup of coffee in the new student union lounge and helping you to navigate your journey to success at FAU Broward.
