Mission Statement

As a not-for-profit organization, the Student Center's mission is to provide quality facilities, services, and programs to complement and enhance the academic experience. The Student Center is designed to create a sense of belonging, a welcoming environment, and a safe space for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the community.
Vision Statement
The University Student Center will strive to be the center of student engagement and student success by providing a student-centered gathering place for the diverse student population.
The University Student Center will commit to offering exceptional facilities, services, and programming to encourage student involvement and enhance student life at Stanislaus State University.
As the University evolves, the University Student Center will strive to meet the needs of an ever-changing campus community.
ASI + SC Working Together
Associated Students, Inc. and the University Student Center are two separate organizations but are functionally merged. This means they have different missions (why they exist) and different visions (goals they work towards) but they share the same values (ethics, student engagement, etc.). ASI & SC are functionally merged because they share values.
Each organization has its own budget and goals, but they are run by the same Executive Director, allowing both organizations to creatively collaborate to provide services to students. The ASI & SC Executive Director has both organizations’ priorities and interests in mind and continuously works to identify ways where they can work together to benefit students.

Each year, the SC Board of Directors develops and approves the organization’s operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Lead by the Chair and Vice-Chair, the board ensures the budget aligns with our Mission and Vision statements. An internal financial audit is conducted annually by an outside auditing firm. Once complete, the audit report is presented to the Board of Directors for their final review and approval. Additionally, the Chancellor’s Office conducts an extensive compliance audit every three years.

Requiring board approval prior to implementation, organizational policies provide direction and consistency to the SC. As a result of our functional merge, most policies now apply to both the ASI & SC and therefore require approval by both the ASI & SC Boards of Directors. Those policies pertaining exclusively to SC functions are approved by the SC Board of Directors (only) prior to implementation.
