The Division of Student Development is driven by the mission to provide programs, services and experiences that help students develop as leaders. Our goal is to help shape students into successful graduates who are holistically formed, critically reflective and socially and personally responsible. The division comprises 14 departments and employs more than 200 professional staff who support graduate and undergraduate students and initiatives at the University.
In addition, the division employs more than 40 graduate assistants who work closely alongside administrative staff to fulfill the mission of the University. The division strongly believes in supporting the education of aspiring higher education professionals, and our staff is committed to providing meaningful, immersive learning opportunities for graduate students. We offer mentoring, supervision, and holistic support in a cohort-based model aligned with Catholic, Jesuit teaching.
Compensation for all GA positions during the 2025-2026 academic year includes $2,000 per month and a tuition scholarship of $9,750 per year. Graduate assistants are also eligible for enrollment in SLU’s graduate student health insurance coverage. If personal coverage through SLU is waived, this benefit is forfeited — it has no cash value.
In some graduate assistant roles, additional campus accommodations may be provided as a requirement of specific job responsibilities. Any remuneration beyond standardized compensation will be listed within the specific job description.
