Student Affairs
College-based student affairs are designed to provide services to students within the context of their own majors. We 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.
Approaching students from several perspectives at once, not just academically or socially, the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs can provide students with individualized advising, counseling, and support, which are necessary for effective learning. The Assistant Dean, as an educator, encourages and supports student learning within and beyond the classroom. Additionally, the Assistant Dean takes special responsibility for providing out of the classroom learning experiences found within our rich and vibrant campus life.
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.

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 resumé 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.
Associated Students, Inc. Board of Directors
The ASI Board of Directors consists of representatives from each of the eight colleges on campus. Each college elects two representatives to serve on the ASI Board of Directors. The ASI Board of Directors is charged with setting policy for the Associated Students Inc., approving all funding allocations to programs and services, and advocating student interests on committees and boards. If you are interested in getting involved in CSUF student government, representing the College of Humanities & Social Sciences, and would like some exposure to campus-wide issues, stop by the Associated Students, Inc. office in the Titan Student Union, Room 207, to see how you can run.
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.
