About Student Transitions and Family Programs

Vision

Fostering successful transitions for all students and families while honoring the Marianist tradition.

Mission Statement

The STFP team fosters transitional experiences that support the diverse needs of students, helping to co-create developmental and peer-led programs focused on the pillars of commitment to community (SERVE), ownership of learning (LEARN), and active leadership in their vocational journey (LEAD). Our programs guide students and families through various transitions starting from the moment the student confirms enrollment to the day they walk across the stage to graduate.
