Student Organizations

College is the perfect time to develop vital leadership, social, and communication skills through club interactions. Our Student Life Office offers many opportunities for students to participate in athletics, join student leadership groups or simply get to know another fellow Gecko.

Whether you're interested in exploring different cultures, advocating for student issues, or playing a round of chess with friends, our many student organizations provide opportunities for everyone.

The groups/clubs are not restricted to participants on any protected basis, including sex or gender. All individuals are encouraged to participate.
