Students for Life
One of the founding principles of this club is the notion of being a "compassionate and loving group with a desire to create dialogue about life issues." The Students for Life group will actively promote and facilitate this dialogue between individuals. As a community rooted in social justice, Seattle University Students for Life will participate in events in and around the Seattle area that actively encourage our membership to perform service in the community. These ideas include:
- On-campus resource center for expecting mothers: a way to work within the Seattle University community by providing expectant mothers with necessary resources ranging from clothing to formula, and a place where individuals can discuss the impact a life has on them.
- Gabriel Project: a way to help individuals with crisis pregnancies through the process. This is an opportunity for membership to reach out to the greater Seattle community and provide them with much-needed assistance.
- Education: a formal dialogue for individuals on life issues, and educating students, faculty, staff, and the friends of Seattle University on life issues using debates, movies, dialogues circles, and other mediums of communication.

World Water Partners
We are a group of students dedicated to the establishment of a just and sustainable world, beginning with the most basic human need: WATER. We are committed to making access to clean, stable water accessible reality for every single person we can. This student organization is a grassroots, student-driven effort to expand the network of providers and encourage collaboration, raise awareness, galvanize support, and gain funding for clean water projects. Our activities include: The "Student Ambassador" program, which provides students with opportunities to work with some of the largest non-profit organizations in the water sector to help develop partnerships and collaborations among the various organizations. Students are selected to represent one non-profit organization, acting as a liaison, conducting research, and gathering information about their current water projects. This work will eventually serve to create a comprehensive network of provider projects encouraging collaboration, thereby increasing efficiency, accessibility, and lowering costs of projects. Students will have the opportunity to develop relationships with these organizations, learn more about the non-profit sector, and aid in making clean water a reality. Grassroots advocacy and fundraising for our various projects. Several fundraising events are planned and organized by students, who are encouraged to utilize their individual talents, creativity, and motivations to galvanize support and funding for this incredible cause. We are currently planning and raising funds for a clean water project in Darmang, Ghana, founded by a SU student in 2010.
