The Division of Student Life and Academic Development (SLAD), located at 11 Mellen Street, is responsible for monitoring the overall quality of life for undergraduate and graduate students at Lesley University. The Division provides a range of services and programs to support the academic, career, and personal development of all students. SLAD includes the following areas: Athletics, Career Resource Center, Community Service, Commuter Student Services, Counseling Center, Immunization Records for Graduate and LCAL Students, Residence Life, Student Activities, Orientations, and Student Health Service (undergraduate) including immunizations records for undergraduate students. In addition, SLAD oversees the UNITY Gospel Choir and a MBTA discounted Semester Pass Program (https://www.lesley.edu/students/transportation-parking-and-shuttle/getting-around-cambridge) for travel on the greater Boston public transportation system.
The Dean of Student Life and staff are also responsible for administering the policies that govern student conduct. At Lesley University, we take very seriously the right for all members of our community to receive an education free of harassment, discrimination, violence, and intimidation.
