Why is getting involved important? How can being involved make you a better student? What ways can you get involved? There are many reasons why it is important to get involved in campus activities. Research has shown that students who become actively engaged in co curricular activities are more likely to perform better academically, develop sound leadership skills, and express a higher degree of satisfaction with their college experiences compared to students who are not involved.
Let’s have a discussion about how to get involved at CSI.
During this workshop you will learn:
- the benefits of involvement
- the opportunities for involvement at CSI
- how to navigate CSI Connect and the CORQ app
- how to start your own groupmailto:studentlife@csi.cuny.edu
