Campus Life



A college education expands a student’s academic and personal development. Supplementing both areas are a number of extracur­ricular activities, which include intramurals, social events, commu­nity events, and student clubs and organizations. Students are en­couraged to participate and assist in the planning of events through the various clubs and organizations.
