Get Connected

We believe that community is important, and for that reason we desire to see every commuter connected via student, staff and faculty relationships, information and resources. Here is how we do that: 

  • Programming opportunities, whether virtually or in person. Stay up to date on Commuter Life event info through Commuter Connection Emails, Instagram, our website, flyers, etc.
  • Connecting commuters to a network of university resources such as the Academic Resource Center, Disability Services, etc.
  • Empowering commuter students development through workshops, vocational discernment, and leadership opportunities.

Meet the Commuter Life Team

The Commuter Life Leadership Team consists of the Assistant Director of Commuter Life and Commuter Assistants. We strive to see every commuter student connected at Vanguard to community, resources and information. We are here to support you!
