Student Life and Engagement



The Office of Student Life and Engagement oversees many aspects of student life on campus.

  • This office organizes New Student Orientation and Family Weekend.

  • We work with Residence Life, the Student Success Center, and Counseling Services to provide a first-year experience program that consists of orientation, residence hall programming, and first year seminar.

  • In addition, the office provides programming that complements the classroom experience. In collaboration with faculty, students, and staff we bring lectures and film series to campus, fund field trips, develop living/learning experiences and bring faculty into the residences.

  • We also work with a variety of campus constituencies at all times, to find volunteer activities. These opportunities provide students ways to meaningfully engage their Clarkson experience and the communities of which they are members.
