Office of Student Activities & Leadership Development

Wacky Olympics PictureGetting involved on campus is one of the most important things you can do to be successful in college. Research has shown that students involved on campus do better socially and academically because they feel more connected to their peers and to the university community.  By joining a student organization, attending campus events, and serving the community, you open the door to leadership development, social and professional networking, an enriched academic experience, and just plain old fun.

The community of Lake Superior State University offers an inclusive environment for growth and learning.  We strive to create an atmosphere that values diversity, leadership development, civic engagement, and social and cultural interaction.  As a student, it is our hope that you not only seek out these opportunities, but develop them, as well.  Involvement on campus provides the perfect path for creating these opportunities and the Office of Student Activities & Leadership Development (OSALD) is here to guide you.

Lake Superior State University is a dynamic environment where recognized student organizations sponsor a variety of events and activities.  With over 60 student organizations (and growing!), all students can find a group to call their own.  And, if you can’t, the opportunity to start your own new organization is always available.

SALD believes that everyone has the potential to be a leader, so whether you come here with a great deal of experience or a desire to tap your potential, we are here for you.  Through involvement in student activities, you will have the chance to hone your skills and develop new ones.

Our Purpose

The Office of Student Activities & Leadership Development seeks to actively engage students in their own learning and growth through intentional co-curricular experiences.
