In Campus Life, we say every student can contribute to the LSU community. We also know that those students who do so will experience amazing personal, social and leadership growth to complement their academic learning.

First Year Students

During your first year at LSU, it's important to balance the desire to connect with your new community and the need to begin your academic journey well. Look for involvement opportunities that support your learning outside of the classroom, that give you opportunities to relieve stress in positive ways and that connect you with other students, staff and faculty who will support and inspire you along the way.

Campus Life offers opportunities for you to practice your leadership skills, to serve others, and to connect to other students. Click below for information on:

Second and Third Year Students

In your second year, continue to seek opportunities to practice your leadership skills, serve others and apply your academic learning. Take on new or additional responsibilities within a student organization to lead others, champion a project, or learn new leadership skill sets. Connect with Campus Life’s leadership programs to learn about your leadership style and prepare for new challenges.

Seek internships and community service opportunities that relate to your academic journey or your personal passions through the Careers2Geaux link on the Career Services website. Visit with your academic advisor and faculty members or search the Campus Life student organizations listing to discover additional academic and involvement opportunities.

Fourth Year Students

Now that you have practiced balancing leadership, service and involvement with academic learning, you can focus on leaving a legacy at LSU and preparing yourself for the leadership challenges to come. How will the LSU campus community be better for your having been a part of it? How will you inspire students who follow you to continue their academic and social contributions?  How are you preparing yourself for the next steps?
