Lead. Connect. Make It Happen.
Student Leadership and Involvement helps Penn Staters turn passion into purpose. Through leadership development, student organizations, and involvement opportunities, we help students shape their Penn State experience — and themselves — beyond the classroom.
From discovering your community to leading change, every experience builds skills that last a lifetime. Our team is here to help you find your place, grow your confidence, and make an impact on campus and beyond.
