Student Organizations

Involvement opportunities abound at Clarke. With student organizations for nearly all represented academic areas, as well as various special interest clubs, it’s hard not to find one to join. If you are not able to find that one perfect student organization, create it! Student-run organizations register with the office of Engagement and Intercultural Programs, which is welcoming and supportive of new organizations.

Each student organization has it’s own interactive page on The Source with additional organization information and leadership contact information. Some academic departments have outside-of-the-classroom involvement opportunities, many of which can be found on The Source as well.
