Boredom

Emerson students are independent-minded artists and communicators who explore daring ideas. They never stop creating, even after class is over. Day in and day out, students use their skills, talents, and strengths to push boundaries, advocate for social change, and create memorable productions that challenge and inspire.

Student Engagement and Leadership is dedicated to helping students find resources and join organizations on campus, commit to personal growth, and serve our community. Through leadership training, civic engagement, student organizations, and fraternity and sorority life, we aim to give you the tools and resources you need to become an active part of campus life.

The work of the Division of Student Affairs is guided by the belief that intellectual and personal development are inseparable and that a healthy and caring campus environment is essential to the growth of the whole student.

The Campus Life Suite is home to the following offices:
Student Engagement and Leadership (SEAL)
Community Standards
Housing and Residential Education
Off-Campus Student Services
New Student Programs and Transitions
VP of Student Affairs and Dean of Campus Life

The Office of Housing and Residential Education at Emerson College oversees all things related to living on the Boston campus. We are here to help you with any aspect of your residential experience, whether it is answering questions about housing, helping you move in, or making friends, we look forward to being a part of your experience!

The Iwasaki Library is your gateway to authoritative information on any subject. We can connect you with readings and reserve items for courses, book and movie recommendations for leisure hours, and research tools for passion projects and current events. In addition, we can help you access cultural resources in Boston like the Boston Public Library and MFA. You can ask us anything: we love questions, in-person and remotely. Wherever you are, the Library is here for you.

Off-Campus Student Services (OCSS) is a resource for the entire Emerson community—all current or future undergraduate and graduate students, staff, and faculty. Commuter students at Emerson College live off-campus in an apartment or at home. Our commuter student programs and services are designed for you no matter where you live. OCSS is here to help with all aspects of off-campus living including getting involved with campus life, finding roommates, signing a lease, even learning how to cook!

The SJC works with and supports individuals and communities through personal and systems advocacy, community-centered projects, and radical care. We believe in individual and community self-determination and work in support of the agency of students, faculty, and staff, especially those from marginalized groups. We engage in an ongoing practice of praxis—reflection and action—and work to deepen our own liberatory practices and to create liberatory spaces for others.
