The Cliff Alexander Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life works to plan and deliver purposeful and intentional programs, policies, events, workshops, and other opportunities.

Harry T. Wilks Leadership Institute

This endowed institute is committed to promoting community-based learning experiences that prepare students to become engaged public leaders and informed global citizens. To this end, the institute sponsors civic engagement programs, including courses focused on public engagement and community learning, a high school leadership program, international leadership capacity development, engaged scholarship, and a series of speakers and symposiums promoting leadership for the public good.

Community Engagement and Service

Service learning is a powerful tool that enhances learning by engaging students in relevant community service. Student participants are given the opportunity to learn and develop as citizens through active participation in thoughtfully organized service experiences that meet vital community needs. The service opportunities are coordinated in collaboration with a course curriculum and the service site.
