Why should you become involved on campus?
This is a good question! It is one all students ask
themselves constantly during their college experience. Such
decisions may range from joining a student organization, applying
for a campus leadership position, or simply joining others for a
social event. When a student finds a group that they
connect with, there are many benefits to be gained, which
include:
- Offers valuable opportunities to learn more about the
campus and fosters connections to faculty and
staff members.
- Assists in meeting new friends and interacting with others;
when we share an identity with a group, this helps us stay
in college and to succeed.
- Provides constructive co-curricular, social, and recreational
opportunities.
- Compliments the classroom by allowing practical application
of classroom concepts, theories, and principles.
- Affords “real-life” experiences in areas such as citizenship,
work and relationships.
- Enhances self-initiative, independence, responsibility, and
time-management.
- Promotes the development of leadership skills, confidence in
social skills, and promotes effective listening.
- Provides practical experience in collaboration, teamwork, and
being an effective group member.
- Presents opportunities for planning, managing and
decision-making.
- Assists in the development of purpose, values and a
philosophy of life.
