Student Life

The Office of Student Life provides many opportunities for students to become more involved throughout the university community. Students are encouraged to participate in the large selection of events that take place on and off campus and are invited to participate in the Student Government Association in order to address the needs and concerns of the student body.

The Student Activities Board, a function of Student Government, plans and implements major student entertainment programs on campus which include Homecoming, Little Sibs Day, Spring Fling, comedians, musicians, bowling nights, and other special events. Membership is open to all students.
