Student Life & Leadership

Welcome to Cal State Fullerton Day

Importance of Involvement

•  Co-curricular experiences are an integral part of the collegiate experience.

•  These experiences often challenge students to develop new ways of thinking.

•  Students who are engaged in purposeful activities are: –  Have a higher GPA in their first year –  Have a higher probability of returning their

second year –  Have a higher participation in culminating

experiences (Capstone Projects)
