Student Life hosts events throughout the year that help students connect with Brock and the surrounding community, including monthly Society of Off-Campus (Brock SOCS) Community Dinners at local restaurants, the annual Brock Student Leadership Summit, and the annual Grape Stomp. Businesses interested in hosting, sponsoring, or supporting an event are invited to connect with us to explore options.

Each September, Student Life partners with local organizations to welcome students living off campus. As part of this initiative, staff and community partners visit student neighbourhoods to distribute Welcome Wagon bags to approximately 500 households. The goal of the Welcome Wagon is to connect students with local businesses, services, and resources that will support them throughout the academic year. Community businesses are invited to get involved by sponsoring the bags and including educational, promotional, or other helpful materials for students.
