Our Team
The Student Life Center for Belonging and Social Change's professional staff represents many degrees and professional fields. Visit each of our biographies to get to know us better and get a sense of the wide breadth of knowledge and experience our dynamic team contributes to student development, community building, and the larger campus community.
Each staff person is also open and available for one-on-one conversations with students. Whether you're trying to figure things out, want to learn more about getting involved on campus, or going through a rough time and just want to talk, we’re here for you!
To schedule a YES! (Your Empowerment and Success) appointment, you can email any full-time staff or graduate student. No registration or application is necessary.
Below you will also see our undergraduate student staff who work to support the CBSC in fulfilling our mission of community building, advocacy, and education. This cohort of students collaborates internally and externally to develop alliances in creating positive social change on our campus. Check out their bios to learn more about this talented team!
