Guiding Principles

Mission

The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) is a student-centered, student-driven department dedicated to empowering Seattle University students to explore leadership and contribute to the campus community, which will prepare them to be leaders for a changing world. 

Vision

All people are empowered to lead within themselves and their communities toward a more just and humane world.

Priorities

We value and support the leadership development and engagement of all students while at Seattle University.  We do this by providing welcoming spaces, opportunities to reflect and discern leadership and engage in a club or organization.

Specifically, CSI provides direction, support and advising for:

  • Clubs
  • Dance Marathon (DM)
  • Graduate Student Council (GSC)
  • Leadership Development
  • Pride and Tradition Events
  • Redzone
  • Student Events and Activities Council (SEAC)
  • Student Government of Seattle University (SGSU)

We work in collaboration with the Division of Student Development and campus partners to provide support for our diverse student body, avenues for community-building, and an inclusive environment toward our goal of student retention, success, and excellence.
