Clubs and Organizations

Joining a club or organization allows students to explore different areas of interest that wouldn't really be taught in their classes. It also provides students with an opportunity to learn more about themselves and find out what they’re good at, whether that’s multitasking, staying organized, generating ideas, or serving others.

Be sure to check the Morning Announcements or the Club Meeting Calendar on the website to see what opportunities you can explore.

If you have an idea for a new club, gather peer interest, secure a staff member advisor, and submit your proposal.
