Student Engagement and Leadership

Welcome to Gallaudet’s Office of Student Engagement and Leadership, the heartbeat of Bison life and campus culture, where Buff and Blue pride fuels every event, celebration, and opportunity to lead!

Our mission is to curate unforgettable, purpose-driven experiences that let you live loud, lead proudly, and represent the herd on campus, in the community, and beyond. Join a student org, plan a big event, or step into leadership. Either way, you’ll find your place to thrive and show your Bison pride every step of the way!

Community

• Events: We’re not just event planners; we’re the architects of unforgettable experiences on campus. We host dozens of events throughout the academic year for you to engage in and enjoy your time outside of the classroom. SEL is also by your side to help make sure your events are successful (student organizations and clubs).
• Service: Tap into a treasure trove of volunteer work. Throughout the academic year, there are always opportunities to give back your time to assist a charitable cause. Take part in any one of these community service events and gain fulfillment and growth. This is the pillar of service.
• Leadership: Explore any one of our student clubs and organizations to connect with and potentially be a member of. Find community in whatever it is you are looking for, whether student governance organizations such as the Student Body Government or Graduate Student Association, or Greek organizations, identity-based organizations, or fun hobby-based clubs. Whatever it is, you can find your tribe here and gain valuable leadership experience by actively participating in these clubs and organizations.
