The
Student Activities Office complements the academic experience. By
sponsoring events and activities which are co-curricular to the academic
curriculum students have the opportunity to learn life skills, leadership skills, and interpersonal relationship skills
. This is accomplished by
providing first-hand experience in leadership, organizational management,
service, decision-making, and planning. Through volunteerism, student
organizations, and committees, the Office of Student Activities provides a
learning experience outside of the classroom that helps to expose students to new
ideas, people, and possibilities.
 The
Office of Student Activities works closely with the Student
Government Association, student
clubs and organizations, the fitness center,
other departments on campus, and with the community of Stamford to
offer entertaining events, trips to New York City, musical acts, health
fairs, leadership opportunities, service opportunities, and a host of other ways
to get involved.
So come on! Get out! Get involved!
Our office is located in room 201. Please call
