The Office of Student Life oversees and manages many of the campus resources available to students in an effort to create a comprehensive and enjoyable college experience. Our mission is to provide students with a holistic development model that encompasses their spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well-being. Above all, our mission is to care for you.

Student Orientation
At Life Pacific College, we believe that student activities provide an important point of connection and unity for students on campus. The Office of Student Life (OSL) intentionally designs our programs to help meet the social, cultural, recreational, intellectual, and spiritual needs of the LPC community. Students are encouraged to stop by the OSL in order to find out about opportunities for involvement and to learn about all of our upcoming events.
In addition to major events like Fall/Spring Retreats, Winter/Spring Socials and Homecoming, the Associated Student Body and the Office of Residence Life provide programs and events throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. Some examples include ongoing Intramural Sports, Broomball, The Good Life, the Turkey Bowl, Christmas Hall Decorating, Spring Spa, the Man Party, Chivalry Night and Finals Food. These are all great opportunities to enjoy fellowship, build community and take a break from the ever-present demands of being a college student.

Counseling Services
Be the best you, you can be. Find your voice.
Life Pacific College and the Office of Student Life are committed to the emotional and psychological well-being of our students along with their social, academic, and spiritual well-being. Therefore, we have created a network of referrals for students seeking support through counseling, clinics, organizations, and hot-lines.
If you are seeking counseling services, we refer students to our Counseling Center operating on campus called Emmaus Road Christian Counseling. You can view their website here: emmausroadcounseling.com where you will find information about the counselors and how to contact each one.
Students wishing to utilize our referral service for clinics, organizations, and hot-lines are encouraged to download and fill out a counseling referral application and set up an appointment with the Director of Student Life and Operations. All conversations are held with the same high standard of confidentiality as the counseling profession itself.
