Student Activities and Leadership
The Student Activities and Leadership area oversees many university wide events including New Student Convocation, First Week UT, Parents and Family Weekend, Homecoming, Student Activities Fairs, Songfest, Dance Marathon, Alumni Leadership Series, World Aids Day, Adopt a Family and First Read. In addition to these traditional programs, the student activities and leadership area is also responsible for bringing many speakers and other programs to campus. Occasionally, we will coordinate bus trips to area sports arenas. This area is also responsible for the development and coordination of the Levis Leadership UT four year scholarship program and the Emerging Leaders program.
The goals of the Student Activities and Leadership area are:
- to provide students the opportunity to participate in social, cultural, intellectual, recreational, community service, leadership programs and academic programs during the academic year
- to enhance their overall educational experience through active participation in the planning, coordination, and implementation of programs and services
- to offer programs that are either on-campus or planned by the University if occurring off-campus
- to coordinate the activities so students see an ongoing level of consistency providing students the ability to plan their schedules
- to co-sponsor other programs on campus to allow more quality programs to be offered
