Student Services Office
The Student Services Office (SSO) is the office that fosters the intellectual, social, ethical, and personal development of students, preparing them to become engaged and constructive members of a diverse, dynamic, and global society in and out of the University. The SSO advocates students’ needs, facilitates student involvement, and encourages students to accept responsibilities of membership in a campus community to explore personal interests through clubs, associations and focus groups. Additionally, there is strong emphasis on various health and fitness programs, as well as recreational and educational activities.
Students are encouraged and supported in becoming involved in and undertaking the responsibilities of helping to organize major events and celebrations such as the National Day, Film Festival, KU Bazaar and Global Day. Student Services support students to lead events and activities such as the New Student Orientation Day, Career Fair, and non-academic recognition award ceremonies.
In addition, these departments facilitate student uptake of the external opportunities available to them such as the Youth Ambassadors Program, or external competitions and support students’ participation in external conferences and events. Operating within the framework of total student development, the Department is committed to promoting a caring, cooperative campus environment that values diversity and reflects an appreciation of the dignity of all people.
