How can I get involved on campus?
There are many opportunities to get involved on campus. The University has a lot of clubs and organizations for students to join. There are groups for academic/departmental, social, music and performing arts, spiritual, service, and club sports activities.
Many groups have informational meetings at the beginning of each semester. This information is usually sent out through campus email. There’s also a Club and Organization Fair each Fall and Spring semester to let students know what groups are active on campus and to meet members. To learn more about getting involved check out the clubs and organizations online.
