The Center provides funding, logistical support, and mentorship to a wide range of student groups and organizations. At the Center, “student organizations” refers to groups that are officially recognized on campus by the Center for Student Involvement, and “student groups” refers more generally to all of the student-led and student-initiated groups that meet at the Center or otherwise supported by the Center. In general, CSI-recognized organizations focus on supporting undergraduate students, whereas other groups at the Center support both undergraduate and graduate students.
We are always looking to expand the opportunities for building community at the Center. If you are interested in starting a new student group or organization, please contact us at lgbtqa@northeastern.edu.
