The Student Leadership Center brings together students, staff and faculty in a campus common with over a dozen leadership suites, or "storefronts," which line the upstairs and downstairs edge of the common/dining space. The highly visible leadership suites act to engage and inspire students by promoting involvement opportunities. The building also features a café, radio station, gaming room, climbing wall, and additional space for the over 90 active clubs at the college.
