The mission of the NCAA is to maintain intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the campus educational program and the student-athlete as an integral part of the student body.

  • Meet the changing needs of student-athletes.
  • Promote respect for diversity and inclusion among student-athletes.
  • Assist student-athletes in identifying and applying transferable skills.

  • Encourage the development of character, integrity and leadership skills.

Institutions participating in the Life Skills Program are provided with instructional materials and supplemental resources which support a student-athlete’s development in five areas: academics, athletics, personal development, career development and community service.

Student Leadership and Development (SLD) provides countless ways for you to make your mark and create a legacy at Stanislaus State!  We are a dedicated team of professional and student staff members committed to cultivating community and fostering engagement through co-curricular learning.  It is our goal to help students explore their passions, get connected, and engage in memorable experiences through getting involved on campus.   

Studies show that student involvement in college reaps a number of benefits. Involved students build stronger support networks, are more likely to graduate (and on time), develop a strong and diverse skill set, and are more marketable to employers when they graduate!

The core purpose of Student Leadership and Development is to:

  1. Orient and transition students to the university: www.csustan.edu/nso
  2. Serve as a home base and guide for student organizations and fraternity/sorority life: www.csustan.edu/sld/student-organizations
  3. Provide leadership development and skill building: www.csustan.edu/sld/leadership-programs
  4. Promote student engagement and personal growth opportunities:warriorhub.csustan.edu

We know that encouraging students to get involved, building lifelong relationships, and developing leadership skills - are the keys to student success!  Make the most of your time at Stanislaus State by exploring the vast opportunities available for students to get involved.
