FAQ: 1.

Follow the Center for Student Involvement on social media! Twitter: https://twitter.com/RooseveltCSI Instagram: http://instagram.com/rooseveltcsi# Roosevelt's CSI is happy to welcome you to our "Like" page! Yeah that means YOU, for real Greg! (If your name is Greg I bet that just freaked you out a little...) On the real though, this page is for ALL RU students! Come here to find out what awesome stuffs is goin' on on campus! (I shortened "going" and added a fun 's' to "stuff" to sound more 'real'... relatable!) Now that we've made this fun and cool connection (especially with you, Greg) I'd like to let you know something: the more you engage in campus activities, the more successful your college years will be! The staff members in the CSI coordinate educational, cultural, leadership, orientation, and community service programs for RU students. By participating in these activities you will stay connected with the Roosevelt community and the city. You will also gain valuable experience for your future career. Campus activities sponsored by student organizations, SPEED and the university include celebrations for cultural months such as Latino History Month and African American History Month, musicians, comedians, and discounted tickets for events in the city. The events are CHEAP for currently enrolled Roosevelt students with a validated student ID.* *You may be asked to provide a Roosevelt student ID with a current term validation sticker to confirm enrollment status... for real we are so real about this, we don't want shadesters who don't pay the student activity fee to get your perks! WHAT THE HECK IS THE STUDENT ACTIVITY FEE? The SAF is a $25 fee added to your tuition bill so you can reap the benefits of Student Organizations and SPEED. It is the reason that Student Orgs and SPEED can exist on campus. beause of the SAF CSI has cheap movie tickets all day everyday. SPEED gets a cut of the SAF so they can plan you fun events and get you way cheap tickets for things in the city. The rest goes into the very capable and un-biased hands of SAFAC. SAFAC is the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee. They make sure Student Orgs have the money to do fun events and activities that are open to the whole school. the committee is required to make sure the money is going towards something that not only will benefit the Student Org but the entire school. If you keep your eyes open for the activities on campus (by coming to pages like this) you will make back the $25 and more in no time!
