Are you interested in Anthropology? Are you an honor student looking for a community to further your future? Or perhaps a nursing student looking for a mentoring program?

The numerous clubs around campus easily answer these queries. Each student-led club has an adviser, with anyone able to reach out and ask questions. By engaging in these clubs, students can directly support student life, as clubs all around campus rely on student engagement and adviser support.

Over the past few semesters, clubs have struggled due to low engagement. The website information is outdated with old links and incorrect adviser information. Instead of going to the websit, pay attention to flyers around campus and social media. Students can find these important social spaces and communities that share common interests and goals.

Here’s a short list of some of the clubs available, though the ones featured merely scratch the surface of clubs, activities and student life:
