Student Leadership & Involvement

Student Leadership & Involvement (SLI) serves students by providing leadership and involvement opportunities within the department and by connecting students to these types of opportunities on campus.


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.

Mission

We (Student Leadership & Involvement) support student well-being and success by providing spaces for student advocacy and engagement. We strive to help students become the core of their learning experiences through co-created leadership and involvement opportunities that cultivate a sense of belonging and empower personal growth and development

Vision

For students to discover their passion, people, and purpose   

Values


Belonging

We will always strive for students to bring their whole, authentic selves to campus and their involvement with Student Leadership & Involvement. We strive to ensure all students feel valued and connected.

Integrity

We will always strive for students to bring their authentic selves to campus, where they feel valued and connected. We work to create a culture where there is trust and space to provide open, honest, and clear communication. 

Self-discovery

We believe that acquiring insight into one’s character, interests, and skills should be fostered in all aspects of student services.

Lifelong Learning

We provide formal and informal learning opportunities to develop and improve knowledge and skills needed to be successful during their tenure at the U and in all their post-graduation endeavors. 

Care

We provide a holistic well-being approach so every student feels seen, valued, and heard. We find ways to support students by offering assistance, communicating openly and frequently, resolving conflicts, and celebrating successes and those of our students

Student Centered

We consider the students perspective in all that we do. We believe in a holistic approach where students become the core of their learning experiences by providing multiple avenues. to enhance engagement, as well as personal, and leadership development. We empower students to believe in and act upon their abilities to succeed as students and emerging leaders.
