 CLUBS YOU SHOULD JOIN WHEN YOU'RE A STUDENT

INTRODUCTION

Clubs and organizations are a big part of  college life! 

 A club is "a group of students organized with a similar interest for a social, literary, athletic, political, or other common purpose; while an organization is a group of students organized for and acting toward a particular cause. Students have the opportunity and choose to join these groups for many reasons including: pursuit of individual interests; career networking opportunities; social camaraderie; and political activisms. Most colleges and universities have a very active student club and organizational system that can be accessed by visiting on- campus offices and individual websites. All students should be strongly encouraged to pursue club and organizational membership opportunities to help them enrich their college experience.

REASONS why STUDENT SHOULD JOIN CAMPUS CLUBS-

Joining a club allows you learn new skills that you might not learn in a classroom, giving you more autonomy to manage time effectively.

1. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Joining student clubs and organizations give you the opportunity to meet a diverse population of people that allow you to expand your thinking and interest. It encourages personal development through communication and exploration of different interest.

2. SOCIAL OPPURTUNITIES

Many clubs and organizations are formed based on leisure and recreational interest. Students may wish to pursue membership in these types of clubs for personal enjoyment, as well as an opportunity to meet people with the same interest. For example, many schools have extramural sports teams that compete regularly; as well as clubs that are based upon commonalities, such as culture or religion.

DIFFERENT TYPES of CAMPUS CLUBS and ORGANISATION-

1. ACADEMIC CLUB

Academic clubs and organizations can be 

represented in many ways. Some clubs may

function for a particular purpose, such as the Academic Quiz Team, which is a club at the University of Maryland that competes with other similar school clubs about academic (University of Maryland, 2013). Academic clubs may have student membership with interest in a particular field or industry.

2. CULTURAL CLUB

These organizations represent people from all over the world and promote an awareness of cultural diversity on campus. These organizations are not limited to including only those from a particular culture; however they do provide an opportunity for those from the same ethnicity, culture, and/or nation to develop kinship (University of Maryland).

3. SPORTS CLUB

The governing body for these clubs is led outside of the college athletic department and they have no affiliation with the university sports teams. Teams are usually organized within a league system that organizes and regulates the sports club.

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

Club inspired by fun!!!
