Statement of Change
Announcing the Department of Student Engagement!
In July 2024, the former Student Activities and Involvement underwent an organizational transformation and is not officially the Department of Student Engagement. This change reflects our expanded vision and commitment to fostering a more comprehensive and signature student experience for our students, faculty, and staff.
The Department of Student Engagement is home to four (4) offices dedicated to enriching the student engagement on campus:
- Office of Campus Engagement: This office focuses on campus-wide programming, events, and initiatives that create and maintain vibrant campus events and traditions.
- Office of Community & Belonging: This office is dedicated to fostering connection for students and student organizations through advising, events and involvement initiatives.
- Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life: This office provides guidance and resources for our vibrant fraternity and sorority community, promoting leadership, scholarship, and service.
- Student Legal Services: Offering confidential legal advice and representation, this service is available to all eligible students to help navigate legal matters.
We believe this new structure will allow us to better serve the needs of our campus community by enhancing collaboration, streamlining resources, and creating more impactful engagement opportunities. We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to continuing to support and empower you.
