Campus Clubs
When you join or lead a club, you will have the opportunity to network with like minded people on campus. Clubs offer diverse social and educational opportunities. Each club must have a faculty advisor and be approved by the Student Development Office. There is a Student Club Liaison who can help you through this process. A list of clubs is located in the SDO.
The River Hawk
This is a newsletter that is published twice per month. It is full of current campus happenings that will be of interest to the students.
