Student Leadership & Involvement

Whether students are interested in starting or joining a Recognized Student Organization (RSO) or participating in a Leadership Development program, SLI is here to facilitate these important connections. SLI is a department within the division of Student Affairs at the University of Utah and is located in the “Student Involvement Wing” of the Union Building - Union 235.
