Campus Life and Event Services works to help students get engaged and get connected through community service, leadership opportunities, programming, special events, student involvement, and other campus events and scheduling.

We especially want to help you find events and opportunities early in your time at Southeast. So the University community can enthusiastically welcome new students, we developed Engage in 8 to assist in your transition to campus. The “Engage in 8!” program is designed to engage you in a wide array of opportunities. The schedule is updated on a regular basis. Check back often for updates.

Camp Redhawk

Camp Redhawk is a summer leadership camp designed for new students preparing to enter their first semester at SEMO. This unique experience offers you an introduction to campus life and traditions, immerses you in school spirit, and gives you the opportunity to meet other new Redhawks.
