The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) develops and manages a comprehensive, campus involvement program. CSI is dedicated to providing and/or promoting social, cultural, intellectual, recreational, entertaining and co-curricular programs/activities that encourage student learning through involvement.

CSI provides a comprehensive leadership program that is designed to develop leadership within participating students including offering an annual conference. The conference expands its programs to additional external groups and schools in the region with more in-depth and interactive workshops. This expansion elaborates on developing essential skills necessary for success as students continue their collegiate careers and beyond.

CSI staff provides one-on-one contact and consultation to brainstorm ideas, listen to any challenges that may exist and help figure out strategies and solutions. In support to all student-fee funded units and campus clubs/organizations, CSI also provides assistance in a variety of ways including consulting on event management, personnel issues, budget development and management, billing, purchasing, fundraising and contracting as well as providing leadership and organizational development trainings/workshops (i.e. goal-setting, creation of mission/vision, running effective meetings, effective communication and team bonding). CSI also offers support to faculty/staff, who serve as advisors for clubs/organizations by assisting them with EOU policies and procedures and provide advisor trainings (i.e. risk management, conflict management, officer transition and diversity).

Community development within the public is a collaborative initiative that CSI supports by providing community service and leadership opportunities for individuals to serve on steering committees and participate in the recruitment of prospective students through fairs and outreach.
