Student Involvement The Office for Student Involvement provides students with numerous opportunities in which to invest leisure time and to learn and develop outside the formal academic environment. In addition, it offers a variety of resources and services designed to support a well-balanced, year-round program for student engagement and development. The office officially recognizes an abundance of organizations in the following categories: academic departmental, academic honor, academic professional, civic engagement, diversified focus, faith based, Greek, media and publications, recreational and sports clubs, residence halls, special interest, and visual and performing arts. Students are also encouraged to participate in the planning and production of campus activities, thereby improving leadership, interpersonal, and social skills. Through the Kutztown University Activities Board (KUAB), a student organization under the auspices of the office, student leaders provide the University community with a diversified schedule of social, cultural, intellectual, and leisure activities. Some of these programs include guest speakers, artistic performances, comedy performances, dance parties, welcome week events, Homecoming festivities, and evening events. Through United Greek Council, the student organization with oversight of social Greek Life, student leaders provide opportunities for students to join chapters of nationally recognized sororities and fraternities. Greek Life’s largest annual event takes place in the spring. Greek Week includes several days of competitions, service projects, and learning opportunities. The week is capped off with the highly anticipated “Greek Sing”. The office works closely with the Kutztown University Activities Board (KUAB) and United Greek Council (UGC). The office coordinates activities and events for students (including Family Day, Homecoming, etc.), provides resources and maintains records for student organizations. In this office you will find the senior director, assistant director for student involvement, the office coordinator, graduate assistants, graphic design students and undergraduate event coordinators.
