The Department of Student Life staff strives to build the connection between the student and campus life by offering a variety of services and programs that complement the academic mission. A highly trained staff of helpful professionals is available to support students from their first day on campus to the completion of their academic goals at Cleveland State University. Services include leadership training, support of recognized CSU student organizations and student media, volunteerism, health and wellness education, judicial affairs, campus programming, student governance, and many other events and activities that make the collegiate experience a successful and enjoyable one. These organizations invite students to join in social, political, religious, professional, educational, and recreational activities through their many events and programs.
Organizations are open to all students.
If you don't find a group that addresses your particular interest, the Department of Student Life will assist you in establishing a new one. Pick up a Student Organization Directory in the Department of Student Life, select the organization that most interests you, contact the group and attend the meetings to learn more. Program topics include leadership styles, communication, group dynamics, and running effective meetings. Students attending at least 16 roundtables over the course of the year can receive Leadership Certification. There is also a free Leadership Consultation Service for student groups and a wide variety of leadership resources available.
