Your education extends beyond the classroom. Create community and pursue passions through student involvement. You’ll find plenty of ways to make meaningful connections, develop personally and professionally and explore passions that make an impact.
Focused on Your Personal and Professional Growth
At Seattle University, we care about helping you explore your interests, grow professionally and connect to community. On our campus, there are dozens of ways to connect and grow. Many students find that getting involved on campus makes their college years more rewarding. On-campus extracurricular activities can help build your resume, but they can also help expand your friend group, bolster your self-confidence and give you early leadership opportunities.
Getting involved with clubs or community service organizations also gives you a chance to discover new interests. Meeting with other passionate people can help ignite your own passion about a profession, sport or activity—creating a life-long interest that will last long after your college years are done.
You can also enrich your college years by finding student employment, which allows you to earn a paycheck while networking with others in the Seattle University community. Student employment also helps you build on-the-job skills that you can carry with you into the classroom and professional career.
No matter your interests, Seattle University has a place for you. Explore how you can get involved in the community, join clubs, find a job, grow as a leader and embrace campus traditions.

Hear From Our Students
Angelina Spitzauer, Class of 2024
"The Center of Student Involvement is my home away from home. Before I got involved, I felt like I hadn't found my place at Seattle University. I would go from class to home and wasn't getting the college experience I had always dreamed of. But then once I joined RedZone, I made friends and memories that I'll have for the rest of my life. I have become a better version of myself after joining this incredible community and feel like I truly resemble what it is to be a Redhawk."
