What does it mean to be Involved?
Being involved on campus means being a part of larger community and finding a home away from home. Joining clubs leads students to new friends, skills, and unforgettable experiences. Through being involved with different groups on campus, students can impact their community and peers in a positive way.
What does it mean to be a Student Leader?
Student leaders enhance their own leadership abilities, while also providing opportunities for other club members to lead and grow. Leaders must adapt to unforeseen challenges, meet the needs and expectations of others, and reflect upon their own work to improve leadership. Additionally, student leaders collaborate with their peers towards achieving a goal or mission through effective communication.
What does it mean to start a new organization?
Starting a new organization means creating a space for other students to feel included while committing towards achieving a common goal. Your organization will have a new impact on campus and allow students to become involved in their community in a new and exciting way
