Find Your Community!
We have active and engaging clubs in the arts, including a literary magazine and a musical society. The theatre club puts on an average seven shows a year and has produced thespians that have won multiple FCSAA Theatre Student of the Month awards.
There are many active clubs and organizations on campus that make the student life experience a reality. From student government to honor societies and intramural sports to student publications, we offer a variety of interests and activities where you can apply your interests.
Sometimes it’s about giving when it comes to student life, and our community service clubs offer exactly those types of opportunities. You will get the chance to get involved in service projects as well as help out those in need to succeed in life through mentoring and tutoring. Find out more about joining or starting a club.
If you are interested in getting involved or would like more information. Contact Chris McGuire, Director of Student Leadership & Development.
