Your Home Away From Home

Belonging starts here. Our programs and spaces are designed to help every Shocker feel connected, supported, and valued. Through meaningful experiences, cultural celebrations, and opportunities to get involved, we create a campus where everyone can show up as their authentic selves and find their community.
