The Saint Louis University Center for Social Action was founded in the Fall of 2009 as the Center for Service and Community Engagement. The Center connects students, faculty, staff, and community partners through service and outreach activities, community engaged learning, community-based research and advocacy. The Center is housed in both Diversity and Innovative Community Engagement and Academic Affairs, while it is also works very closely with Mission and Ministry and Student Development.

Blue Santa could use your love. His elves have been making toys very slowly this year and he’s worried he won’t have enough toys for all the kids!

Can you help Santa?!

You can donate funds too and Santa can add to his factory if you can’t make your toys in time!

SLU students, faculty and staff have been hard at work since school kicked off to ensure students know their voting options and are registered (home state or MO).

Things to know:
- MO registration deadline is Wednesday, Oct 9th
-Students registered in Saint Louis City (not to be confused with county) can vote in the Busch Student Center.
-If students need a notary for their absentee ballot, email [email protected]
- Students need a MO State ID, MO Drivers License, Passport, Passport Card or Military ID for Missouri voting or they can cast a provisional ballot at the polling place in which case they will check that your signature matches your application signature.
-Some out of state locations have early voting. Fall Break may be an option to vote in person at home, but would require checking your State and local election offices webpage for your state (this link may help: https://www.usa.gov/state-election-office)
