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. For more information, contact the Dean of Student Life.
