Prescott Campus Clubs and Organizations
The University registers clubs and organizations through the Office of Student Activities. One of the easiest ways for students to expand their educational experience is to join one or more of the established clubs or organizations, or to start one of their own. Clubs and organizations offer opportunities for students to take leadership roles and become involved in the University community. They also provide educational, social, and recreational experiences that enrich the students’ lives. Club officers and committee chairs gain leadership skills that have tremendous value in their professional lives after graduation. Clubs also provide students with a sense of belonging and the pleasure of spending time with people who have similar interests. Through participation, the student achieves the qualities of social leadership and a perspective of values, which helps prepare him or her for the challenges of an active and rewarding life.
