 *Roles and Responsibilities:*
 
-CASL is responsible for the continuing development of the student

+Activities) and the Division of Academic Affairs (e.g., the Office of
+Academic Advising, Accessibility Services, and Graduate Studies), on

+programs, and policies and programs that impact academic advising.  In
+the general area of student life, the committee is concerned with
+extracurricular activities as they affect the academic performance of

+concerned with programs designed to improve the physical, mental,
+emotional, and social health of students, and with understanding how
+other programs and policies may impact various aspects of student
+wellness.  In all cases, the committee works with representatives of
+the Division of Student Affairs, the Office of Academic Advising, and
+Graduate & Professional Studies to understand current best practices
+in the areas of academic advising, student life, and student
+well-being as they relate to academic performance; to review the

+to these areas; and to collaborate on the review and/or revision of
+policies relevant to student life.
