The STRIPES program promotes participation in campus programming and events that promote the development of our students and provides opportunities for experiential learning. Participation in the STRIPES Program prepares students to serve as leaders in a compensative global workforce while also providing service and uplift to the community. 

COMMUNITY SERVICE

SSU Students document and submit their volunteer community service activities to the STRIPES Office located in the Career Services & Leadership Development Center (Student Union 115) and receive a transcript of their activities while enrolled.

Supervisors and students must sign all applicable signature lines on each sheet and provide all requested information. The supervisor must sign next to each date on the timesheet to verify accuracy.
