Student Engagement and Leadership

Overview

The Office of Student Engagement and Leadership helps construct campus spirit by partnering with student organizations and clubs on programming and outreach. The resultant fun events and gatherings play an important role in building campus community.

Ways in which we work with organizations and clubs include:

Assistance with planning events and activities;
Assistance with training new members, officers, and advisors;
Advice on registration procedures for student organizations;
Scheduling the use of campus facilities;
Outlining leadership resources; and
Discussing sources of funding and financial procedures.

If your organization members or advisors need assistance, please see the Student Engagement & Leadership Student Organization & Club Manual. We are here to help.

In addition to working with student organizations and clubs, The Office of Student Engagement and Leadership also provides various services to our community members. See below to request services:
