Student Clubs & Organizations

Being involved in extra-/co-curricular activities is an integral part of the College learning experience, providing students the opportunity to meet people with similar interests, develop leadership skills, explore new passions/interests, serve the community, and leave a lasting legacy on campus.

Active involvement shows potential employers that you are outgoing, a team player, and willing to represent something bigger than yourself. You can get to know faculty and staff on a more personal level through your and their involvement, and potentially make connections with others in your field of interest.

Student Organizations are overseen by the Student Affairs division. Any group of students may be recognized as an organization as long as their purpose is within existing federal, state, and local laws and college policies.

If you are interested in learning more about Student Clubs and Organizations, please contact the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs at 417-455-5636, or N110.
