Stephen Robert '62 Campus Center and Student Activities Office - SAO

As part of the Division of Campus Life and Student Services, the Student Activities Office (SAO) leads campus efforts to support 400+ student groups. We co-coordinate undergraduate Orientation with the Dean of the College and support the Brown Outdoor Leadership Training (BOLT), Brown Student Agencies, and Liber Brunensis (Brown's Yearbook).

In addition, the office provides oversight and coordination for two facilities that serve the Brown community—the Stephen Robert '62 Campus Center and T.F. Green Hall for Student Performing Arts.

The SAO is located on the second floor of the Stephen Robert '62 Campus Center at Brown University. The building was originally dedicated in 1904, and most recently renovated to become the Campus Center in 2009-2010, it serves as one of the major hubs of campus life.

The goals of the Stephen Robert '62 Campus Center are:

Facilitate informal opportunities for students and faculty to interact outside of the classroom as a means of encouraging such interactions campus-wide.

Build a shared sense of community by encouraging use of the Center by all constituencies (faculty, undergraduate, graduate, and medical students, staff, and alumni).

Connect the co-curricular programs with the academic lives of students.

Provide support for student activities in order to enhance the experience for those participating in them.

In addition to providing stewardship to the Center, staff in the Student Activities Office host a variety of programs in the building which are open to the entire community.

The building is also home to a number of services including an Information & Welcome Center, the Curricular Resource Center, and the LGBTQ Center. Food options in the building include: the Blue Room & the Campus Market. We are also home to Brown Student Agencies, the yearbook offices, student publications, the Graduate Student Council, and the Resumed Undergraduate Student Association.
