Student Activities and Leadership Programs' mission is to enrich and integrate students' leadership and academic experiences in order to educate students to be ethical, socially just, and civically engaged leaders on campus and in their larger communities.
We do this by advising student organizations, supporting student government, supervising student-led services, advising student media, coordinating service-learning programs, organizing cross-campus leadership development programs, and facilitating the work of the Programming Board.

The ASPSU advocates for students’ interests, officially represents students before internal and external bodies, allocates the student fees, and is the vehicle through which students may participate in the governance of the University. Students may run for office, serving on the Student Senate or as president, vice president, or as a member of the Student Fee Committee. Students may also volunteer to work on specific-issue task forces or be appointed to a University-wide committee to represent the student body.

We offer various co-curricular service learning and volunteer opportunities ranging from year-long service leadership teams to one day service events. If students are looking to volunteer, either to fulfill hours for a class, explore something they are passionate about, or just to meet people in a different setting, stop by the office or email at volunteer@pdx.edu.

The student media organizations at Portland State function as learning laboratories where students can learn, not only by doing, but also by reflecting on how their practices relate to their development as leaders and function within the context of their local and greater communities. Get involved with news publications, television, radio, or literary journals as a writer, photographer, editor, manager, designer, etc. Go to website to find out more about getting involved.
