Inclusion & Student Engagement Location: University Commons, Room 354 Phone: 217-424-6335 E-Mail: ise@millikin.edu Website: https://millikin.edu/ISE

Inclusion and Student Engagement provides students with the necessary tools to be a democratic citizen in a global environment. By providing you leadership opportunities, programs, and educational resources, we empower you to explore the University fundamental questions: Who Am I? How Do I Know? What Should I Do?

We are the office that encourages students to discover a place where they belong in various groups and student organizations, leadership opportunities, and an inclusive campus body. We host many large campus events including First Week Orientation, Homecoming, Cultural Heritage Months, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and the Cookie Party. We meet with students individually to help them feel like they “fit” at Millikin. If you are looking for a way to get involved in one of our 90 student organizations, or if you are interested in helping plan Diwali, please stop by and see us

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Run by student leaders, we have over 90 student organizations that range from common interest (University Center Board, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, etc.) Or academic major and discipline (American Chemical Society, Pre-Vet club, Opera per Tutti, etc.). If you are interested in making friends, joining student organization is a great way to start. Please come and talk to one of our staff members about how to get involved, or take a look on our website for information on different student organizations.

FRATERNITY AND SORORITY LIFE

Our office works closely with the fraternity and sororities that have a home on Millikin’s campus. The fraternity and sorority community at Millikin University currently consists of eleven fraternities and sororities; 5 men’s fraternities and 6 women’s sororities. The 11 Greek organizations that

comprise the Millikin University fraternity and sorority community hold in membership approximately 25% of the Millikin University student body. For more information on how to get involved in these organizations, please come and speak to us.

WHERE WILL YOU LIVE?

Most international students will live in Dolson Hall and will be a part of the international citizen living and learning community. In Dolson Hall all international students will be provided with a Resident Advisor who will be responsible for everything housing related specific to your floor.
