BECOMING AN AU YELLOW JACKET…

 Your student will become familiar with the patterns of conduct that are indicative of women and men of good character. They will be able to observe and begin to practice and improve upon their abilities to discipline themselves. 

Your student should familiarize themselves with the Student Handbook  published by the Division of Student Affairs. Your student should become familiar with the expectation of the university for academic honesty and integrity. In keeping with the highest standards, the university will not tolerate incivility, academic dishonesty and unethical practices. 

All Work and No Play?

Although we expect your student to make their academic work their first priority, we know that they will not fully develop if they do not have a satisfying and sensible social life. Your student’s emotional intelligence is developed in a social context. It is the mission of student activities to complement the academic program of students at Allen University and enhance the overall educational experience of students through the development of, exposure to, and participation in social, cultural, intellectual, recreational and governance programs. While the scope of student activities is broad the development of programs is founded in encouraging students to explore and participate in activities that provide opportunities for self- realization and growth in individual and group settings. 

Student Activities creates opportunities that inspire students to become active members of the campus and community. Working in collaboration with faculty, staff and students, this office offers a variety of educational, cultural, social and recreational programming that fosters student learning and development. The staff assists student organizations on campus in the planning and scheduling of events to assure adherence to the university’s policies, which includes the safety and welfare of participants. The registration, chartering and scheduling of events are performed through this office. Therefore, membership is normally restricted to Allen University students who, in turn, are encouraged to take leadership roles and explore their interests.
