Student Engagement

RamPulse	With 100-plus active ways to get involved, RamPulse is not just another social media site! It is a portal for involvement that allows students, staff, and faculty to explore programs, events, organizations, and departments on campus. Students should use their campus credentials (Shepherd email address and password) to access to hundreds of activities planned across campus.Each student has an ‘Event Pass’ that can be saved onto a mobile device and used to enter events. The Event Pass can be accessed through either the student’s RamPulse login or on the Corq App.
Student Government Association	The Student Government Association (SGA) of Shepherd University works to establish a more effective and representative student government, to encourage interest and participation in responsible student government, to protect the rights of students, and to initiate, direct and promote students’ activities designed to enhance the welfare of the entire student body. General messages for the SGA Executive Board can be sent to sga@rams.shepherd.edu.
Student Life Council	The Student Life Council (SLC) is responsible for recommending campus wide student life policies to the Vice President for Student Affairs, the President’s Executive Staff, and other groups that establish policies.
Fraternity & Sorority Life	The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) strives to provide opportunities for students to foster academic excellence, leadership development, philanthropic services, and community engagement. The Office of FSL aims for excellence in all aspects of fraternal life by promoting our core values of service, philanthropy, brotherhood, sisterhood, and leadership in conjunction with the University’s core values.
Multicultural Leadership Team (MLT)	Members of the Shepherd Student Multicultural Leadership Team are full-time degree-seeking students committed to enhancing cultural diversity and improving race relations locally, nationally, and internationally. Members of the Team participate in a multicultural leadership development program that equips, challenges, and empowers them to demonstrate their commitment to cultural and racial diversity by helping to prepare others to live, learn, work, and succeed in a pluralistic society.
Student Community Service	The Office of Student Community Services promotes, organizes, and assists campus outreach initiatives by effectively placing individual students, groups, and academic and social organizations in situations that embrace learning through service. Join the student community service organization on RamPulse for quick access to volunteer opportunities as well as assistance in tracking your service hours on RamPulse.
Program Board	Program Board (PB) is made up of student leaders who create community on campus by sponsoring diverse, inclusive programming to educate, entertain, and engage students.
Shepherd L.E.A.D.S.	Shepherd L.E.A.D.S. allows new residential and commuter first-year and transfer students to make connections, strengthen leadership skills, and engage in community service both on and off campus prior to the beginning of the fall semester.

Campus Life

Residence Life	Becoming a Shepherd Ram means joining a community. No matter how you describe yourself, there is a place for you on campus. Introverts and extroverts, athletes and non-athletes, professional studies and liberal arts majors, and those who have yet to decide. You can all create a “home away from home” by living in the residence halls. There is lots to do, things to learn, and lifelong friendships to begin. A caring staff is here to support and guide you through your transition to college life. Far more than a place to live, the residence halls are integral part of the Ram community.
Dining Services	Meal plans are convenient, flexible, and loaded with options. Meal plans include dining locations all across campus with a range of menus and offerings.
Student Center	The Shepherd University Student Center, through its services, programs, and dynamic facilities, provides a welcoming and inclusive sense of place where students, faculty, staff, alumni and visitors gather to share experiences and exchange diverse ideas. The Student Center fosters student engagement, community and learning through recreational activities, cultural events, social programming and leadership development initiatives.
