About Us
The Office of Student Engagement & Leadership has three core functions on campus:
- We support the creation and management of student clubs and organizations, assist clubs and orgs in achieving their goals, and are committed to assisting students in becoming the next generation of leaders.
- We host campus-wide events for all students to enjoy. These include both on and off-campus events.
- We provide leadership training for student organization leaders and those students interested in developing their skills to become leaders in the future.
As educators we are committed to enhancing the academic mission of the University. We empower students to create a strong campus community that fosters the ideals of civic engagement, scholastic achievement, leadership, and respect. We develop student's personal and professional skills through the participation in and coordination of fun, entertaining, and educational events, organizations, and experiences.
