People always talk about "making the most of their college experience." For those students looking to achieve this, getting involved in student organizations, service projects, and campus and community events are within easy reach at Boise State. Getting involved outside the classroom provides you opportunities for leadership and personal development, as well as a broader understanding of yourself and your role in society. Studies show involved students are more successful academically and are more satisfied with their college experience. Getting involved on campus gives you practical, real world knowledge, as well as helps you develop your own voice both during college and after. Aside from all this personal growth and development, getting involved is a lot of fun, and it's a great way to meet new people!
Whether you're looking to share your interests with others, develop leadership skills or to find an event to attend, we can help you experience your university life to the fullest. Make the most of your university experience through co-curricular activities. In the Student Involvement & Leadership Center, we believe that what you do outside the classroom can be as important as what you learn in the classroom. By participating in student activities, you have the opportunity to enhance your classroom experience by learning new skills, developing your interpersonal and leadership abilities, and gaining real life experiences that can prepare you for life after you graduate. Oh, and did we say.... have fun and meet new people.
