There’s more to college life than work and study. In fact, the most involved students are often the happiest students.

In a community as close-knit as ours, you don’t remain a stranger very long. This sense of belonging and mutual support is rare on a college campus today, and sets us apart in the best possible way. There are many clubs, organizations, honor societies and more for you to join whether you live on campus or off campus. 

Top 5 Reasons to Join an Organization

  • Develop leadership skills
  • Supplement career preparation
  • Explore new interests
  • Meet new people
  • Have a lot of fun!
