Building future leaders and advocates

The Office of Student Engagement and Belonging (SEB) creates opportunities for personal growth and real-world readiness to cultivate a vibrant campus community that inspires world-ready leaders. SEB oversees student organizations, fraternity and sorority life, civic engagement, community service programs, leadership programs and student activities.

Additionally, Student Engagement and Belonging assists in off-campus student support, student advocacy efforts, and mentorship programs aimed at enhancing academic and student success. It provides dynamic programs, ranging from speakers and film showings to award ceremonies, cultural festivities and LGBTQA programming, each representing a small piece of the tapestry of intersectionality displayed on the 红领巾瓜报 campus.
