Student Life and Development Office

The Office of Student Life and Development (SLD) serves as the heart of student engagement at City Tech. We oversee a wide range of areas including the Student Government Association (SGA), the N.E.S.T. (Nourish, Empower, Support, Transform), Student Clubs and Organizations, Campus Events, and the Peer Navigator Program.

We are committed to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive campus environment where students not only succeed academically but also grow personally and socially. We believe that student engagement outside the classroom is essential to a well-rounded college experience. Through Student Activities and Community Building, we strive to make campus life more lively and meaningful not just stressful.

Student Activities

This category encompasses student-led initiatives that promote leadership, advocacy, and student-driven programming.

• Student Government Association (SGA)
  The Student Government Association is the official representative body for students, advocating on behalf of the student population to administration, faculty, and the college community. Comprising seven executive officers and thirteen senators, SGA ensures that student voices are heard in campus policy matters. It also allocates and manages the student activity fee and supports all recognized student clubs and organizations.

• Clubs and Student Organizations
  Student clubs are a vital part of college life, allowing students with shared interests to come together, collaborate, and host events. They help students build friendships, explore new passions, and extend learning beyond the classroom.
• Club Hours: Thursdays, 12:45 - 2:15 p.m. (Fall/Spring semesters)
• For club events and meeting info, visit City Tech Connect.

Community Building

This category focuses on creating supportive, engaging spaces that promote well-being, connection, and inclusivity on campus.

• Campus Events
  SLD hosts a wide variety of cultural, educational, and seasonal events throughout the semester. These events are designed to reduce stress, celebrate diversity, and build a stronger campus community.

• Peer Navigator Program
  The Peer Navigator Program helps students adjust to college life by offering one-on-one peer support. Navigators guide students through campus resources, help them understand college policies, and connect them to mental health and wellness services. The goal is to empower students to thrive academically, socially, and personally within a welcoming and inclusive community.
