Student Life

 

Participation in Student Life programming is valuable to students for several reasons. While students' first priorities must be their academic work, we recognize that a significant part of the educational process involves students' lives outside of the classroom. Your participation in the Student Life of the campus allows you to learn skills that will be valuable to you throughout your lifetime - both in your work-related or career life as well as in your personal life. Students involved in the Student Government Association and/or clubs have an opportunity to develop communication skills and improve their problem-solving and decision making skills.

Student Clubs and Organizations - from academically based organizations such as Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and the Ambassadors; to curriculum based clubs like Criminal Justice Club and Human Services Club; to special interest clubs like the Drama Club and Social Diversity Club, become involved on YOUR campus!
