There is always something to do at SBU, with on-campus events & off-campus trips hosted by our department nearly every Friday, Saturday, & Sunday!

DISCOVER.ENGAGE.LEAD

The Department of Student Engagement & Activities is committed to elevating the student experience by fostering developmental, dynamic, and inclusive co-curricular experiences through engaging events, memorable traditions, and a community of recognized student organizations. We empower students to DISCOVER their potential, find opportunities to ENGAGE in campus life, and develop skills to transform, thrive, and LEAD at the University and beyond.

Involvement & Leadership

There are countless ways to get involved on campus, and the benefits are endless. Getting involved can help you make friends & find community, expand your interests while having fun, create a network while honing skills valued by future employers; & enhance your success at SBU. Studies show involved students have higher GPAs. In 23-24, our E-board members in our recognized student organizations had an average cumulative GPA of 3.5. Not sure where to start? We have a number of resources available to help our Seawolves be engaged, including:

Clubs & Organizations

We provide oversight and support to our 500+ student organizations and their student leaders through advisement, training, and support services. In collaboration with the other areas of Student Affairs and beyond, we facilitate interactions among students, faculty, and staff that focus on student growth and development, students as partners in the creation and implementation of co-curricular activities, and participation in student organizations and their events. We strive to provide quality advising to student organizations and empower faculty & staff advisors by providing resources and support.

Programs & Traditions

We host free on-campus programs every Friday & Saturday that appeal to various interests to foster inclusive, engaged communities where every student can create memorable experiences & connections. Events include movie nights, murder mystery dinners, hypnotist and comedy shows, the annual Homecoming Seawolves Showcase, paint nights, craft events, food expos, and much more! Much of our programming efforts are supported and funded by the Undergraduate Student Activity fee.

Beyond the Brook Trips

The Office of Student Life and the Department of Recreation and Wellness host off-campus trips for students to go “Beyond the Brook.” These trips include physical activities, such as outdoor rock climbing, and indoor non-physical activities, such as trips to Broadway shows and the Long Island Aquarium. These trips can be found on SBEngaged, and all trips can be purchased through the Recreation website.
