Students becoming better people making better communities

Department Summary:

Our Mission: Campus Life empowers students to discover and define themselves and their communities through advising, programs and resources.

The Department of Campus Life is organized to support students and student groups in creating communities on campus that contribute to their success at Washington University.  This includes learning how to get involved on campus through student groups, including fraternities and sororities, planning events and activities, and areas of self-governance through Student Union, the undergraduate student government. Washington University currently features over 400 registered student groups that create a vibrant and active campus environment.
