Having community impact begins wherever one stands. At ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ, Mustangs have opportunities every day to make a difference in large and small ways on campus. Residential and social structures, such as the Residential Commons, Greek Life and student organizations offer opportunities to connect and give back. Some ways to be engaged with community on campus include:
