The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) is charged with creating civic engagement opportunities for entire UH campus community. Led by the ideals of transformational leadership, CSI fosters an environment that integrates learning, service, and leadership to empower students to become active, global citizens who lead with a lifelong commitment to service. To that end, CSI assists students in developing the skills necessary to become civically responsible citizens and to take action on social issues that impact their community.

    Each year, Americans across the country answer that question by coming together on the King Holiday to serve their neighbors and communities. Though our office and student organizations serve in the community daily in various ways, the entire University of Houston community band together to make an even larger impact for two of our major community service events: MLK Day of Service and WOW Day of Service.
