Welcome to Boston University!

Student Activities Office (SAO) and Community Service Center (CSC), are joining together to create the Student Leadership & Impact Center (SLIC) – a new hub for leadership, advocacy, engagement, and impact on campus and throughout Boston. SLIC will empower students to lead, serve, and organize for meaningful change through a cohesive, purpose-driven model of engagement.

Look out for new programs and services launching this academic year that align with SLIC’s six strategic pillars:

Leadership Development

Community Engagement

Civic Agency & Advocacy

Dialogue & Collaboration

Programming & Belonging

Reflection & Purpose
