Leadership and Service
Connect. Explore. Lead. Grow.
At the Center for Student Leadership and Engagement (CSLE), student development is our "why."
We foster growth and cultivate community by creating inclusive programs, leadership experiences, and opportunities that encourage students to stay curious, reflect critically, build resilience, and discover their purpose.
Formerly known as Student Involvement, Leadership & Transitions, or SILT, the Center is committed to building a collaborative, nurturing, and inclusive Oxford community. We want every student to feel seen, heard, and valued, while recognizing the unique value they bring to our campus.
Through leadership education, student involvement, and meaningful opportunities for connection, we empower students to grow personally and develop as socially responsible leaders at Oxford and beyond.
Our work is grounded in integrity, empathy, mattering, equity, service, and innovation. These values shape how we create programs, build relationships, remove barriers, listen to students, and continuously evolve to meet the needs of our community.
Whether you're looking to find your community, explore a new interest, develop as a leader, or discover how you can contribute to something bigger than yourself, the Center for Student Leadership and Engagement (CSLE) is here to support your journey.
Stay curious. Build community. Explore your purpose. Lead with impact. And have fun along the way.
Oxford students are impressive volunteers, both on campus and in the greater community. Each year our students log some 10,000 to 15,000 hours of service, forming the backbone of the notable volunteer efforts of all Emory students.
Through programs such as Leadership Oxford, our students develop as leaders in Oxford’s 80+ clubs, organizations, and varsity sports.
