蜜桃直播

1. Why should I get involved on campus?

There are so many reasons to get involved during your time at 蜜桃直播! Involvement will allow you to meet new people and make friends, will connect you to countless university and community resources, and will make the time you spend outside of the classroom at 蜜桃直播 one-of-a-kind. You might choose opportunities to engage on campus that compliment your academic program of study OR you might choose an organization or activity different than anything you've ever done before. Whatever your passion or interest, countless opportunities exist. Plus, involved students have better grades, are more likely to graduate, and are more marketable when seeking out internships or jobs. So, how will you get involved?

2. What kinds of organizations are there?

Currently, there are many student organizations and activities at 蜜桃直播. As you're navigating opportunities for involvement, it is easiest to think about them in genres. Eleven genres of student orgs exist, including:

• Academic Organizations
• Club Sport & Recreation Organizations
• Coordinating & Governance Organizations (includes Student Senate, Union Board, class councils and Residence Hall Association)
• Faith-Based Organizations
• Fraternity & Sorority Organizations
• Honor Societies & Honorary Organizations
• Intercultural Organizations
• Media Organizations
• Performance Organizations
• Service Organizations
• Special Interest Organizations (everything from the Role-Playing Guild to activist groups)

For a list of all student organizations or to see what specific organizations fit in each genre, visit the Student Involvement website by clicking here.

3. How do I get information about a specific organization?

There are many ways to get involved with a student organization. One way is to attend the Student Involvement Fair at the beginning of each semester. Student organizations set up tables with information and have officers on hand to answer questions. This is a fun way to see what opportunities are available, meet student organization members, and find something that sparks your interest. You can also complete the Get Involved Form on the Student Involvement website. This allows our staff to personally direct you to an organization that fits your interest!

4. How do I find the student organization that is right for me?

First, ask yourself a few questions: What are your passions and interests? What do you think you might like to study? What is your dream career?  What have you always wanted to learn more about? Then match your answers to a few organizations. The best way to find the involvement opportunity that is the right fit is by simply trying a few. Attend the first meeting or event and talk with some of the members. See what works best with your schedule, what community you feel most comfortable in, what activities and events you will enjoy or benefit from the most. Remember, it's okay to stop going if it's not a good fit. That's how everyone else figured it out too. The other thing to remember? Your involvement is almost certain to evolve during your time at 蜜桃直播. The things you participate in your first year, might not be what you dedicate your time and effort to as a senior. It's to be expected, because we promise you won't be the same person at graduation that you are during Welcome Week.

5. What is the time commitment for being involved in an organization?

The time commitment for being involved in a student organization is hard to say definitively because it will depend on how much you choose to invest in the org. As a brand new member, you can probably expect a smaller time commitment which might just include a weekly or biweekly meeting that lasts no more than an hour and a few events here and there. However, if you decide to take on a leadership role with the organization, that might mean more than one weekly meeting and additional time spent behind the scenes planning organization events or activities. Once you have narrowed down the list of orgs. you might like to participate in, ask the officers to help you understand the expectations of members, including the time commitment. And remember to not over commit yourself, even though it might be hard to limit yourself when there are so many great opportunities. There are 168 hours in a seven-day week. If you get 8 hours of sleep a night (which you should!), you're down to 112 hours. Calculate how many hours you will spend in classes, including at least 3 hours outside of class for every hour in class to study. If you spend 16 hours in the classroom and study for 48 additional hours, you're down to 48 hours left in your week and you haven't even accounted for the time to eat meals, take showers, workout, or do any of the other things you require to feel normal. Know yourself and your limits and find involvement opportunities that support you accordingly.

6. What's the difference between a club sport and a recreation program?

Even though we group our club sports and recreation opportunities into the same genre, there can be significant differences between these types of involvement. Typically Recreational Organizations (Outdoors Club, Caving Club, or Swing Dance Club) are structured for the purpose of continued participation in a sport or activity, are intended more for enjoyment versus competition, and allow members to participate as their schedules allow. Club Sports (Rugby, Hockey and Volleyball) have a more competitive focus, schedule games against other colleges and universities, and might even participate in league, regional or national championships. These organizations require more committed and regular participation from members in order to meet eligibility requirements.

7. I'm bored. What is there to do on campus?
