About the CSLI
The Center for Student Leadership and Involvement (CSLI) serves as a bridge between student-led learning communities, officially sponsored public lectures, student and faculty co-sponsored activities, leadership development and personal growth. CSLI is funded in part by a Title III grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
 
The Center for Leadership and Involvement serves two important functions on campus:

• The first is to nurture and support first year students at Jackson State University by providing resources, coordinating learning communities, and leadership training; and
• The second is to engage the community in a critical, self-reflective dialogue in an unending effort to build the skills of community involvement.

Some of the CSLI services include: leadership development, learning communities, peer mentoring, cultural enrichment trips, assisting in new student orientation, Blue Key Honor Society, Student Leadership Institute, National Society of Leadership and Success Seminars, Emerging Leaders Leadership Summit, Thurgood Marshall Leadership Conference, CEO Series and Blue Stars.
