Student Involvement

Welcome

The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) strives to promote and provide quality programs, services and resources that enhance the cocurricular experience. The CSI staff works to build a supportive environment where all students can develop transferrable skills through various organizations, programs and leadership opportunities.

Student Involvement Statistics

89% of our students are involved in a student organization, study abroad and/or an internship for credit

  • Of those students, the individuals involved in a student  organization earned significantly higher Grade Point Averages than students that are not involved in a student organization*

        71% of Truman students are involved in two or more student organizations**       

        96% of Truman students would recommend getting involved in student activities and organizations to friends **

      Why Get Involved

Mentorship: As students embark upon their undergraduate experience, we understand the importance of each student finding a peer group. When they join an organization, new students are quickly connected with upperclassmen that can assist them in navigating campus. 

Finding you niche: Our goal is to connect students with the resources to focus on quality cocurricular experiences not quantity. The CSI offers cocurricular programs and services that enhance the collegiate experience. We serve as a centralized location for student involvement with over 200 student organizations, and provide opportunities for students to start new organizations/programs that do not currently exist at Truman.

CSI Activities: Getting students connected to the campus and local community is a top priority. Each year thousands of students participate in events such as Homecoming, Purple Fridays, Dawg Fest, the Big Event, and Activities Fairs.


It would a pleasure to speak with you in greater depth regarding the Center for Student Involvement. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact any of the CSI staff.
