Four busy Center for Student Involvement (CSI) student-run activities and involvement boards mean students can find out how to get involved while also participating in or helping to plan some amazing events.

Students can develop their leadership skills with the Center for Leadership & Civic Engagement’s (CLCE) service and academic programs, joining one or ore of the approximately 600 recognized student organizations, while discovered the rewards of community involvement.

The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life (OFSL) can show students how to get instantly connected to a large network of students, academic support, a social calendar, and leadership development.

By students advocating for students, our Student Government (SG) is the place for students interested in experiencing the workings of an active governing body, either as employee or volunteer.

The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) taps into our diverse campus population to offer students a truly global perspective from which to learn and grow in their multicultural competency.

Intramurals teams, sports clubs, adventure trips, and classes are just a few of the ways students who love to be physically active can enjoy their favorite sports with Campus Recreation.

Religious & Spiritual Life (RSL) on campus offers students the opportunity to join others that share their faith and beliefs in organized worship or casual events right on campus.

Students who loved working on their school newspaper can consider getting involved with The Oracle, as a reporter, photographer, or advertising rep.
