What is Student Involvement, Leadership, and Transitions?

Where students pursue passion and achieve connection to advance a global society.

Student Involvement, Leadership, and Transitions is a hub for campus involvement, events, and programs. SILT programs and events are aimed at promoting engagement, learning, intercultural competency, enhancing leadership capacity in our students, and building community. From joining student organizations, to running for student office, to joining our international student life or orientation initiatives, to attending large-scale social events, our office offers a myriad of ways of connecting with the Emory community.

It is our goal to encourage students to pursue passion and connect to a global society. We serve all students, undergraduate, graduate/professional alike who seek to create connections and to have fun!

Let us help you as you begin or continue your Emory journey!

Leadership Making A Difference

Jordan Baker Tealer

Emory College Arts and Sciences

"Getting involved on campus has allowed me to build strong bonds with many great mentors and other leaders in the Emory community who are some of the most driven and resolved people I have ever met. In transitioning into leadership roles on campus I have always felt the expectation to achieve more, as well as the consistent support of those around me to realize those goals."
Tina Mensa-Kwao

Rollins School of Public Health

"Because of my involvement as the President of Rollins Student Government Association, I've had the opportunity to organize the inaugural Rollins Advocacy Series! These workshops provide a hands-on opportunity for students to develop advocacy skills and learn how to be effective advocates as future public health professionals."
Cassidy Schwartz

Emory College Arts and Sciences

"Getting involved on campus has inspired me to try to create lasting and meaningful change on campus. As the President of College Council, I strive to make a positive impact on the Emory experience by hearing, promoting, and representing the voices of my peers and helping them connect with the necessary resources to achieve their goals. The most special part of this role has been working with the incredible, passionate individuals that make the College of Arts & Sciences so unique and impressive! "
