What is Student life & Leadership?

Your experiences as a university student are different from those at any other time of your life. You juggle classes and work, establish new friendships, and enjoy new freedom... and that's exactly why we're here! The programs of Student Life & Leadership are designed to add value to your life at Cal Poly. You will find opportunities to develop leadership skills, set goals, make decisions, share in group dynamics, experience diversity, and work independently to reach your goals.

Student Life & Leadership provides the structure and YOU provide the student life with your passion, ideas, dialogues, and programs. As a member of the university community, we know that you will contribute in many important ways and we are here to be inspired by you and lead with you to make our campus even more vibrant.

Student Life & Leadership encourages use of the 'Student Event Announcements' channel on the portal.
