Hmm...how can you get more involved in campus life?
Join A Club
Looking to find other students with similar interests as you? The best place to start is by joining a campus club. You get to meet new people and keep your social skills sharp too!
Campuses usually have hundreds of clubs for many different interests including dancing, reading, robotics, drama, hiking, sports, gaming, acapella, volunteering etc.
Can't find a club of interest? Consider starting one!

Try Out For A Sports Team

Competition also involves winning and losing, which helps build skills like resilience and team work.

It's also a great way to:
represent your peers
be the voice of the students
influence campus policies
make positive changes
Take Up Peer Mentoring
Successfully navigated your way through your first year? Want to help new students struggling to keep up?
