Student Engagement Programs
澳门马会传真 prepares you for community engagement extending well beyond your college years. Student Engagement’s programs complement academics and enhance the overall collegiate experience — all while honing students’ confidence, leadership skills and personal integrity.
The programs and activities are designed to meet the diverse needs of student leaders and organizations. We encourage you to take advantage of any upcoming leadership programs that fit your interests.
Many students discover and/or build upon their leadership experience and skills at 澳门马会传真. Promoting their passions or interests with involvement in an existing student organization (or starting a new one), serving on the Student Government Association (SGA), taking a leadership role in a club or organization — these are just a few examples of how leaders thrive. Student Engagement works with student leaders throughout their four-year journey.
The annual Student Leadership Awards are a special effort on behalf of the university to acknowledge the great strides made by groups and individuals alike towards building a greater sense of community. More information about leadership awards regarding eligibility, nomination process, timeline and award descriptions can be found on the Involvement Network in the spring.
澳门马会传真 offers 100+ clubs and organizations for students to choose from. Clubs and orgs are student-driven and faculty or staff advisors are ready to assist — learn more here.
Student Government Association (SGA) serves as the voice of our student body. The organization approves new clubs and organizations, runs campuswide communication initiatives, elevates student concerns, and initiates change on campus by working collaboratively with administration.
