Welcome to Community Development

Welcome to Community Development! Through our offices, services, and programs we work with students to complement their academic experience with an exciting and enriching out of classroom experience. Whether it is through developing leadership skills that will serve you throughout your life or just hanging out with friends at a concert on campus, you can always find something to do at SHU.

An important aspect of Seton Hall’s mission as a Catholic University is the development of community, where each person is respected, nurtured, and encouraged. From NCBI, a unique program designed to welcome diversity, to Community Standards, the University’s judicial system, students learn about themselves and their relationship to others, resulting in a rich and dynamic campus community.
