Office of Student Involvement

What happens outside the classroom plays a huge role in the college experience. Jacksonville University creates a variety of ways to get fully involved from day one. The Office of Student Involvement assists in planning events on campus, oversees Fraternity and Sorority Life, and stands ready to support and coordinate all student organizations. JU believes in incredible experiences beyond classroom walls as part of its holistic approach to student success and wellness.
