Success Starts with Support

The Student Engagement Center supports student success by creating connections and a community that fosters academic, personal and professional growth. We proactively remove barriers and design pathways to ensure opportunities for all students to succeed.

The Student Engagement Center brings together key departments with similar responsibilities to strengthen collaboration and elevate service to students. Departments within the Student Engagement Center include Veterans Services and Engagement, the American Indian Student Center, International Student and Scholar Engagement, the Office of Student Accessibility, and Student Connection and Engagement.
