About Student Life

The Office of Student Life is your one-stop shop for learning how to get involved on campus! We oversee student clubs, organizations and interest groups, offering workshops and training while housing all your guidelines to answer any questions. We currently have three categories of organizations to better identify the needs and resources of each of our organizations.
