Center For Student Involvement

Getting involved on campus is one of the quickest ways to become part of the university community and create your own unique Kent State experience. The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) offers an array of resources that provide opportunities for leadership and participation in student-initiated projects and organizations.

The mission of the Center for Student Involvement is to foster student growth and development through leadership, civic, cultural and involvement opportunities.

Take the time to investigate your options in our network of programs : Leadership, Student Engagement, Connections and Transitions.

CSI is staffed by talented and caring people who advise and support all undergraduate and graduate students.

Respecting diversity

“Before I started in this group I hated and feared public speaking. But being in this group we are often asked to speak about our position and why we think the way we do. I’ve learned to do that along with other skills acquired by public speaking.”

“Multi-tasking has always been a strong suit for myself but when dealing with an organization of 200+ members plus a board reporting to you its vital that you are always organized and prepared for almost any situation. Walking into any group or job from now on I know that I can handle anything put on my plate and do so without as much effort.”

“I have been able to meet people on campus that I otherwise wouldn’t meet, and I have joined more organizations as a result.”
