Join a student club or organization

A student club is defined as a group of students with a common social, educational, social justice, religious or cultural purpose. Because the management of the club is intended to be a student learning experience, the day-to-day functions of the club are carried out by student members with oversight and mentorship from an advisor.

An organization is a group of students whose central purpose or cause is linked closely to or affiliated with an external organization. Organizations may have additional chartering or renewal requirements beyond the College chartering requirements. Examples of organizations include honors societies, sports clubs, e-sports leagues, or politically affiliated groups.

There are dozens of active student-led clubs and organizations on campus. Scroll down to learn more. Students are encouraged to reach out to a club president or advisor to learn about the club's upcoming meetings and activities for the semester. Also, new clubs form throughout the year, so be sure to check back for new opportunities!
