See what students are saying about Student Life: I decided to get involved with Student Life and volunteered as an International Student orientation leader, BASA Executive, and a member of the school senate as a student. After that there was no turning back! These volunteer opportunities helped me develop my leadership and networking skills and through that I was able to give back to the school.
