Student organizations and activities provide opportunities for students to grow both socially and academically. Activities and organizations allow students to utilize academic theories and concepts outside the classroom. Through these opportunities, students are able to develop and hone their leadership skills, as well as appreciate the value of teamwork and cooperation.
We have categorized student organizations into the following groups:
- Governing Organizations: Groups that function primarily to make decisions for the campus or a specific amount of groups on the campus
- Programming Organizations: Groups that function primarily to provide programs and events for the campus and/or community and surrounding areas
- Programs: Programs function similar to student organizations, but are under direct control of the faculty staff member responsible for the program.
- Academic Organizations: Groups that provide an opportunity to discuss and share information related to a specific major/minor, academic discipline and/or career.
- Honor Societies: Groups that recognize superior academic achievement and leadership qualities and are usually based on professions and/or academic programs.
- Greek Organizations: National or local fraternal organizations registered through the Office of Student Life.
- Athletic Organizations: Groups that provide opportunities for participation in recreational and/or competitive sports teams or organizations relating to athletics.
- Service/Philanthropic Organizations: Groups that function mainly to provide service to the campus and/or community and surrounding areas or seek to raise funds and/or support for a particular charity or cause.
- Religious/Spiritual Organizations: Groups representing diverse faith communities and belief systems that observe and follow religious and/or spiritual practices and traditions.
- Special Interest Organizations: Groups that provide communities for students to discuss and share information about specific topics and common interests, raise awareness about a variety of issues, and/or cover topics that are not included in another category.
