学生 Activities (SA) at Chicago State 大学 dates as far back as the founding of the school in 1867 (when it was named Cook County Normal School). During this time 学生 Council coordinated all student activities, student handbooks and student 组织. The actual Office of 学生 Activities was created around 1967 when the institution was revamped and renamed Chicago State College. Throughout the 1960s, Chicago State not only became Chicago State 大学, but it expanded its Office of 学生 Activities to foster the growing need for educational, cultural, social and recreational programming for students. At the old location on 68th and Stewart, SA housed TEMPO Newspaper, 俱乐部 and 组织, Honors Societies, Photography, Yearbook, and hosted 首页coming, and Service Projects. Today, the Office of 学生 Activities is located in the Cordell Reed 学生 Union Suite 260 and is the home of over 60 clubs and 组织 including 学生 Government Association and Fraternity/ Sorority Life, and Royal Court. SA also hosts robust programming, which includes but is not limited to: “We Live It Series,” “欢迎周,” “首页coming,” “Thanksgiving Throwdown Step Show”, “Black 历史 Month,” "Latino Heritage Month", “Women’s 历史 Month, and ”CSU Women Rock.” SA has a computer lab, study area and lounge where students and staff are able to eat and socialize, as well as a Movie Room and Game Room. 学生 Activities offers a friendly atmosphere where students can come and relax and have their needs and 担忧 addressed.
