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 Programs event info through our newsletter, 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 Programs Team
The Commuter Programs Leadership Team consists of the Assistant Director of Student Engagement and OSE interns. We strive to see every commuter student connected at Vanguard to community, resources, and information. We are here to support you!
