Involvement & Leadership

Build and expand skills from experiences in and out of the classroom. Apply theories to real world settings.

Involvement is your committed participation in activities on and off campus such as clubs and organizations, community service, research with a professor, lectures and fine arts, civic and religious organizations and others, where you commit your time, energy and dedication. Leadership is using your skills, talents and vision to motivate others toward a common goal.

By becoming involved, you will:

Get involved, make new friends, learn about yourself, and grow as a leader.

• Explore your personal leadership style
  
• Identify and build your leadership skills
  
• Enhance your communication and interpersonal skills
  
• Feel more a part of the SDSU community
  
• Meet students and others from backgrounds different from your own
  
• Interact with campus leaders, faculty, staff and campus administrators
  
• Gain valuable experience for your resume for graduate school or a job
  
• Be able to apply what you learn in class to your activities on and off campus
  
• Be more prepared for a leadership role in your organization, job, and/or in your community
  

Use your skills, talents and vision to motivate others toward a common goal.

Involvement = Success

Each SDSU student is a success story waiting to happen.  Students who are involved in campus organizations and activities are more likely to enjoy their college experience and make meaningful social connections.
