The Office of Student Activities and Campus Engagement (SAuCE) strives to create a vibrant, purposeful, and supportive college community where students make a positive difference, develop healthy and meaningful relationships with others, are empowered to take action, learn about themselves, and develop leadership and lifelong skills.
Students who participate in campus life opportunities discover a learning laboratory for gaining an essential personal foundation. Engaging through student activities is personally rewarding and provides opportunities to meet other students, develop relationships, promote change on campus, and explore new interests! We like to say you can experiment with different ingredients and create your own sauce!
