About Student Engagement & Belonging

Student Engagement & Belonging (SEB) creates meaningful opportunities for students to connect, get involved, and feel a true sense of belonging at UAlbany. Through campus-wide programs, student organizations, leadership development, orientation experiences, and resource centers, we support students’ growth both inside and outside the classroom.

Our work centers inclusion, community-building, and student voice while celebrating the diverse identities and experiences that shape our campus. Whether you’re looking to get involved, build leadership skills, serve the community, or find spaces that affirm who you are, SEB is here to support your journey.

Together, we help every Great Dane feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to thrive.
