Nestled in a eucalyptus grove, the wood exterior of Student Center stands in contrast to the modern Jerusalem stone façade of Price Center. The casual atmosphere and unique blend of services make Student Center a special place. The main building is home to UCSD’s student cooperatives: The General Store, Groundwork Books, and the Food Co-op. UCSD’s The Guardian newspaper, KSDT radio station, and SRTV are located here along with several student organizations and alternative campus media. Student Center is a popular study spot with an inviting lounge and fireplace, comfortable outdoor study areas, TreeHouse Computer Lounge, and academic services such as A.S. Soft Reserves and A.S. Lecture Notes. The Women’s Center and LGBT Resource Center provide events, services, and special programs. There are also conference/meeting rooms, three ATMs, and the UCSD BikeShop, which sells, repairs, and maintains bikes and bike accessories. Next to the main building is The Stage at the Pub where dances, concerts, and many other events occur. The Stage is connected to Porter’s Pub, which serves lunch, dinner, and microbrew beer. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members learn the art of neon, pottery, glass blowing, and other crafts in classes offered at the Crafts Center. Nearby, specialty coffees, light cuisine, and an occasional musical performance are served up in the patio setting of the Grove Cafe, one of the most serene places on campus. Just south of the Student Center on the Revelle campus is the Ché Café. The Ché is a student-run cooperative serving a vegan menu at very affordable prices and is home to a variety of all-ages concerts, lectures, and performances.

Center for Student Involvement

The Center for Student Involvement strongly supports the notion that the university must provide learning experiences for students both within and outside the classroom. Volunteering in the community and participating in leadership workshops, seminars, conferences, and in any of more than 450 student organizations are integral parts of the university experience. With so many organizations and activities to choose from, there is bound to be something that sparks individual interest. If not, students can start their own organization! Registration for student organizations begins in the fall and continues throughout the academic year, and the advisors can assist with selecting an organization or with starting one.

In addition, leadership seminars are organized to help strengthen the leadership potential of students. Listed below are some of the training programs scheduled each year:

• Improving interpersonal skills
• Public relations
• Interviewing techniques
• Fund raising
• Team building
• Running effective meetings
• Time management
• Careers in student affairs
• Budget management
• Motivation
• Stress management
• Ethics
• Publicity/advertising
• Recruiting volunteers
• Diversity

We invite students to stop by the Center for Student Involvement on Level 3 of Price Center East to learn more about student organizations, Greek life, community service, and leadership opportunities!
