Welcome to the Center for Student Leadership!

The Center for Student Leadership (CSL) is the central hub of student leadership at UCI. CSL has been designed to support student leadership programming across the campus by serving as a connection point between students seeking opportunities to develop and apply leadership skills and faculty and staff who oversee leadership and development opportunities.

The CSL is committed to supporting every student on their leadership journey from orientation through graduation.

TRANSITION PROGRAMS

Our Transition Programs Team assists incoming first-years and transfer students transition into UCI. They provide resources to aid these new students both inside and outside the classroom. Past events have ranged from community building socials to trying different foods from the Irvine area! Look out for their newsletter for more information.

ORIENTATION PROGRAMS

Student Parent Orientation Program (SPOP) is a 2-day, 1-night program that all incoming first-year students are required to attend. Not only does our team make the magic of orientation come to life, we also hire and train the orientation leaders that make it happen.
