Biographical/historical note

The Division of Student Affairs at North Carolina State University provided programs and services for students and the larger community to enhance quality of life, facilitate intellectual, ethical and personal growth, and create a culture which engenders respect for human diversity. Through these activities the Division of Student Affairs support student learning with the principle of “Students First.”

"Before 1954 various aspects of student personnel work were scattered in several independent offices, some reporting to the business manager, some to the chancellor, and some to the Dean of Students." (Regan, p. 152) A survey by Cresap, McCormick and Paget recommended the creation of the Dean of Student Affairs, to replace the Dean of Students. In 1954, James J. Stewart became the first Dean of Student Affairs. Although the Dean of Students has spent most of his time on student absences and disciplinary matters, the Dean of Student Affairs was able to spend more time planning and coordinating all aspects of the college's non-academic program.

In 2011, the Division of Student Affairs merged with the Division of Undergraduate Academic Programs to become the Division of Academic and Student Affairs (DASA).
