While academics is important and plays a key role in successfully finding employment, receiving scholarships, internships, and acceptance into graduate school, student involvement on campus is often desired. Many employers and scholarship/internship committees value your commitment to the university through volunteerism and participation in student activities. Lack of involvement could be the determining factor of whether you receive that dream job or internship. Those students that do participate and are leaders of various organizations on campus are thought to be well rounded and disciplined, so get involved today!!
It is a very good idea for students to develop outside interests through participation in a wide range of activities, so long as academic performance is not sacrificed. If you are looking for the student organization that best fits you, visit the Office of Student Activities & Leadership Development (OSALD). With over 115 registered student organizations, the office serves as the nucleus for social, recreational, cultural and individualized interests. The Office of Student Activities provides the resources, guidance, and support to enhance student achievements and activities while serving the interests of the college community. For a list of departmental, scholastic, service, and other student groups at the University, please visit the Office of Student Activities or visit the office in 311 Patton Hall.
