The Student Life office offers a wide range of opportunities for student involvement and leadership development. The office also serves as a resource to all student organizations and their advisors. A list of registered organizations and members is updated every fall by Student Life.

The Campus Activities Board (CAB) is a student group that plans special events for the campus: concerts, comedians, discount movie nights at local theaters, as well as special trips to professional sporting events, area cultural events, and other points of interest.

Student Life also collaborates with other campus offices and academic departments to provide leadership development, workshops, and programs. These programs allow students to gain knowledge about leading student organizations, managing finances and budgets, and collaborating with fellow students from diverse backgrounds, among many others. In addition, registered student organizations can use supplies in the "Chop Shop" to create signs and posters for events.
