Student Activities
Become involved on campus by participating in student activities!
By joining campus clubs and activities, you’ll meet people, learn more about programs and services and have loads of fun as well. Several clubs have developed around different campus programs and interests but every club welcomes students of all cultures, faiths, ethnicities and programs of study.
Watch the weekly campus newsletter, Pioneer Press, for meeting times or visit the Student Government Association Facebook page for more information on current events.
