The '''Division of Student Affairs''' is the primary administrative umbrella for undergraduates at Columbia. Student Affairs oversees pretty much all non-academic aspects of student life for [[Columbia College|CC]] and [[Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science|SEAS]] students. Some of the many operations Student Affairs oversees include Admissions, Financial Aid, Residential Programming, Advising, etc. The current dean of Student affairs is [[Kevin Shollenberger]], who held the position on an interim basis but is now the man in charge. The assistant dean in the office is  [[Kathryn Wittner]].

Student Affairs is the way in which the gap between CC and SEAS is bridged, since they're ultimately separate schools, academically. Creating a united student administration for both schools helps ensure that students in both schools are essentially part of the same student body who live together, eat together, and work together. This also keeps the bureaucracy from getting too messy by eliminating the need for redundant and parallel offices providing the same services to students at each school.
 
 
 
Student Affairs was formed in [[1998]] when the offices of Dean of Students at [[SEAS]], [[Office of Undergraduate Admissions|undergraduate admissions]] and [[Office of Financial Aid and Educational Financing|financial aid]], all overseen by [[Chris Colombo]], were merged with the office of Dean of Students at [[CC]] after the retirement of [[Roger Lehecka]] from that post. Colombo became the first Dean of Student Affairs, a post he held until [[2008]] before leaving for MIT.
