The Office of Student Life, Diversity and Leadership (SLDL) manages, and serves as a resource for student organizations. At CGU there is a wide variety of organizations that may meet your academic or social preferences. We strongly recommend that you consider participating in one of our existing student organizations or even create your own! Joining a student organization means joining a community, and having peers who oftentimes become your support group. Through these organizations you also have the opportunity to strengthen and develop your leadership skills by planning, developing, and implementing events on campus or by collaborating with other organizations or campus constituents.
Whether the organization you choose to participate in is discipline related or identity/affinity related; together they encompass a variety of areas to explore.
For more information or the contact information of current student organizations, or how to start a new club, please contact the SLDL Office at student.life@cgu.edu.
