Getting Involved in Student Activities

As a college student, getting active in student activities is the way to go. Clubs and organizations are an important part of your education. Why get involved with student organizations?

• Social Networking Opportunities (make friends, network). Why not make a few friends while in college? You don't have to stick to your old methods of meeting people. Often times you can better connect with people that you have certain interests in common with through student activities.
  
• Build Resume for your future career. It never hurts to have a little extra padding for your resume when you graduate. Getting involved in student activities is a good way for a student in college to get some resume material.
  
• Get Leadership Experience - if you take an office, you will start to develop these skills. Don't expect to be perfect right away, you will have mistakes but stick to it anyway.
  

How to do it?

• Look around campus for bulletin boards, advertising clubs, organizations, activities. Nearly every college campus have these, all you have to do is keep your eyes open.
  
• Inquire about an organization for your college major, this is invaluable. Occupation specific college clubs care great for making connections for future jobs.
  
• Ask teachers, professors, and other students about which activities are good. Every campus has a few star programs and a few stinkers too.
