Student Involvement.png

There are a variety of ways for students to get engaged on campus. The opportunities you have outside of the classroom will help you create a network of peers and develop skills necessary to be successful in your career! You don't have to do everything, but you should do something. Find what works for you. Find something you enjoy. And do it!

Why Should You Get Involved on Campus?

  1. You'll get to meet new people who you have things in common with. 
  2. You'll get to know your faculty and staff advisors.
  3. You'll build skills for your future career like teambuilding, communication, problem-solving skills, and more!
  4. The more involved you are, the more connected you'll be to campus.
  5. You'll have fun!
