The mission of the Department of Auxiliary Services is to provide the highest quality products and services to the Northwestern State University community while setting the highest operational standards possible. Auxiliary Services’ departments survey their customers each year on the delivery of products, services, and customer service. In addition, student focus groups and committees provide valuable input on student trends, needs, and desires throughout the year.

A primary objective of Auxiliary Services is increasing the quality, effectiveness, appearance and efficiency of these services, therefore, enhancing the University experience for students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors.
