Welcome to the Center for Student Leadership!
Our Mission
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.
What We Do
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.
LEADERSHIP COURSES
We offer a 1.3 unit class catered towards helping incoming students be successful at UCI both academically and personally. Learn more about THRIVE below.
