What is Commuter Life?
Our vision is to see Every Commuter Connected to community, information and resources.
- Providing programmings such as the Collegium, and commuter events throughout the year.
- Connecting commuters to a network of university resources such as 51ÂÜÀòShares, student care and campus events.
- Facilitating community-building opportunities among commuter students by advocating to make our campus program commuter-friendly.
- Empowering commuter students development through small groups and leadership development programs.
