Student Leadership Development for a More Just World 

The office hosts multiple opportunities for student leadership development through service to SEU and Austin, as well as, paid and unpaid employment and internships. Student leadership, a form of experiential learning, intentionally broadens students’ world views and prepares them to live a meaningful life and work in diverse settings with people from different backgrounds and experiences. It is important to us that we provide students with customized challenge and support, meeting them where they are and encouraging them to become more self aware, forming a conscious mind and heart, committed to making a positive difference in the world.

Student Leadership Roles

A student leader position serves as “Chair of Student Belonging” and oversees the direction of our student-led initiatives. This position helps helps to ensure the many opportunities for student leadership development and experiential learning remain student-centric and are created by students, for students. A different student leader position serves as “Chair of Inclusive Excellence” and oversees the promotion and coordination of programs. Student leadership development, as well as peer-to-peer education and mentoring and supervision are critical methods of successful student engagement and experiential learning and requires students are “at the table” in order to inform and sustain the complex work we do.

Student office staff support the mission and purpose of the Office of Student Belonging and Inclusive Excellence by helping professional staff deliver a welcoming environment for all students visiting the office and keeping us organized!
