Clubs and Organizations

We've got clubs that cover it all--from stress-reducing hobbies to cultural identity. Widen your circle of friends and develop your leadership skills. 

Student organizations at the College

Join a student club or organization and get involved in life at the College. Student clubs are great opportunities to explore different ideas, develop interests or just socialize. Students who wish to become involved in clubs or organizations must be registered in at least one credit-bearing course, maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 and be in good standing at the College.

Below is a list of recently active clubs. Each club must register and reactivate annually. Visit the Student Life Center for more information.
