Student Life &Leadership (SLL) works to ensure that Cypress College students have ample opportunities to make the most of their college experience by getting involved on campus. By participating and connecting with like-minded individuals, students can explore their interests, develop skills, create friendships, and thrive both inside and outside the class environment.
The SLL team provides comprehensive advisement, orientations, and workshops to Associated Students officers and student club/charter officers to provide unique leadership skills and experiences. SLL is also responsible for supporting students’ overall well-being, ensuring student basic needs are met, and driving civic engagement within our student population.
