College-based
student affairs are designed to provide services to students within
the context of their own majors to encourage students to get more
involved in the many opportunities for leadership, career exploration,
scholarships, and student employment in the many departments and
programs in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
The
college based Assistant Dean of the College of Humanities and Social
Sciences acknowledges that all parts of the university community
are concerned with the development of students, and attempts to
coordinate efforts and resources available. These resources are
supported through the Office of the Dean of the College of Humanities
and Social Sciences and the Division of Students Affairs for the
promotion of intellectual, cultural, and social growth of students.

Department
Based Student Clubs and Organizations
The
College of Humanities and Social Sciences has almost fifty academically
related student organizations
which you can join. Active participation in co-curricular activities
builds employer valued skills: the ability to think critically,
strong organizational and leadership skills, and effective writing
and public speaking skills. Involvement in student organizations
complements and enriches the academic classroom experience with
experiential learning. Additionally, getting involved in clubs helps
to build a strong network of support within your area of study,
including faculty, staff and peer mentors. By getting involved in
academically related student organizations, you make connections
with other students who share your major and faculty who will be
your mentors and friends. You also expose yourself to rich conversations
on topics related to your degree program academic field of study.
Honor
Societies
Nine
national honor societies
are represented in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
These groups recognize the superior achievement among students in
their respective fields and encourage scholarship, research, and
professional growth of their members. Honor societies are also terrific
resume or curriculum vitae builders and are strongly recommended
for students who are considering graduate or professional school.
Honor societies generally require a minimum GPA (3.0 is typical)
and sometimes charge a small membership fee and community service
hours.
H&SS
Inter Club Council
As
part of Associated Students, the HSS ICC is the funding council
for academically related student
organizations and scholarly events in the College of Humanities
and Social Sciences. Each academic department and program must have
an active, regularly participating representative in order to petition
for financial support. If you would like to improve your communication
skills, learn more about various fields and provide a valuable service
to your department or program, look into serving as your major’s
HSS
ICC representative.
Associated
Students Board of Directors
Each
of the eight colleges at the university elects two students to
represent them on the AS Board of Directors. The AS President
and AS Executive
Board report to the AS
Board of Directors, and the Directors vote on important
issues facing all Cal State Fullerton students. They also decide
on committee
appointments, allocate funds to other students, serve on university
committees and much more. If you are interested in getting
involved
in CSUF student government and would like some exposure to campus-wide
issues, stop by the Associated
Student Office in the Titan Student Union, Room 207, for
an application to run for this office, and to learn the timeline
for
the next election.
H&SS
Dean’s Student Advisory Council
Several
times each semester the Dean will convene a meeting with the leaders
of each student group within the college. This meeting is a great
way for student leaders to share information with each in an informal
setting, learn of important upcoming issues facing the college,
and interact closely with the Dean and his staff. Student input
is very important to our Dean and each student’s feedback matters.
If your group is not being represented at this meeting, offer to
go as an alternate for your chair or president so your group is
not missing important information and input into the decisions facing
our college.
