Center for Student Engagement, Activities, and Leadership

The Center for Student Engagement, Activities, and Leadership is comprised of the Office of Student Activities, Cliff Alexander Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, and Wilks Institute for Leadership and Service.

The mission of The Center for Student Engagement, Activities, and Leadership is to provide students with opportunities that foster a sense of belonging and a connection to the University. We facilitate leadership development and community engagement. We deepen the Miami experience through enriching student organizations, offering transformative leadership programs, advising campus programming, and challenging and supporting student leaders. We work together with student organization advisors and campus/community partners to advance a student-centered co-curricular experience.
