The Center for Student Involvement

Get Involved

Why get involved on campus? 

Getting involved on campus is beneficial!

  • It provides a break from schoolwork
  • It develops and builds skills outside the classroom
  • You meet lifelong friends
  • It alleviates stress
  • It makes college more balanced and enjoyable

 

Ultimately, students that are involved in activities on campus are more likely to feel connected and easily adjust to college life.

Try Something New!

 

Join or start a club or organization

With more than 70 clubs, your interests will most likely be covered! Get in touch by reviewing the complete list of clubs at Wolves Connect or meet members in person at Clubs Carnival, held at the beginning of each semester.  If you don’t find an organization that interests you, consider starting a new club.  New clubs are formed every year!

 

Join the Student Government Association (SGA)

Joining SGA allows you to advocate for students, explore opportunities to test your leadership skills, and connects you to other students, faculty and staff. Feel free to join one of the upcoming SGA Senate Meetings. All are welcome and encouraged to come!  Visit the SGA Website for more information.

 

Join Fraternity & Sorority Life (FSL)

Joining a Fraternity or Sorority is an amazing way to enhance your college experience. It’s not only a great way to meet people and create lasting friendships but it also helps you build quite a few skills! Being in FSL helps enhance time management skills, adds to your resume and grants you access to a lot of leadership conferences and workshops. Visit WCSU Fraternity & Sorority Life Website to learn how to join FSL.

 

Be part of WestConn Club Sports Program

The WestConn Club Sports Program provides an opportunity for individuals who share a common interest in a recreational sport to come together and improve their skill level and overall knowledge of the sport or activity. 

 

Enjoy attending events? Why not create them by joining the Program Activities Council (PAC)!

Joining PAC allows students to become more active participants in the campus community and plan events for the entire university population.  All event ideas are welcome!  Feel free to attend a PAC Meeting, reach out via email pacevents@wcsu.edu or visit the PAC Website to learn how to join PAC!

Get out and get active!

 
Do you enjoy theatrical performances?

Whether your interest is in Music, Visual Arts, or Theatre Arts, WCSU School of Visual, Performing, and Communication Arts offers many performances virtually and in person.

 

Stay Connected!

Improve and Enhance Your Leadership Skills!

 

The Leadership, Compassion and Creativity Certificate (LCCC)

The LCCC is a free program for all WCSU students, as a way to enhance their experience at the University, and learn more about themselves, their goals for the future and leadership styles. LCCC takes all your co-curricular activities, leadership roles and community service hours and combines them into one leadership certificate, to show off all their skills and experience on their resume and commend them for all their dedication and work!  Ultimately, students will be able to learn more about how they can practice effective leadership in their current roles, civic life, and future careers.

To get more information on LCCC, please email leadership@wcsu.edu or go to www.wcsu.edu/leadership
