NVU-Johnson Clubs and Organizations

Academic Organizations and Honor Societies

Mathematics Club: The mission of the NVU-Johnson Mathematics Club is to bring together students who share an interest in mathematics and computer science. We aim to create a friendly and respectful community of all skill levels and expect participants to bring in positive energy, leaving a great name for our club. Activities of the club may include, but are not limited to, discussing new topics in mathematics and computer science, exploring math puzzles, and implementing community service projects such as partnering with local schools to offer math tutoring. Membership shall be open to all students who pay the student activity fee although meetings and some activities are open to anyone in the campus community to attend.

Model UN Club: Model United Nations gives Johnson students a chance to immerse themselves in global politics, diplomacy and to learn about other cultures. Participants are accepted on the basis of a one-page paper they submit as their application, and then the group researches a specific country to represent at the annual Model UN event.

National Society of Leadership and Success: A selective organization for undergraduate, graduate, and adult learners that provides a peer network, scholarships, and leadership opportunities.

Serious About Science Club: The Serious About Science Club is dedicated to working with the NVU-Johnson Department of Environmental & Health Sciences to build a greater connection between incoming and upperclass students in the science programs. Our main goal is to gather a group of students with a common interest in the field of science to discuss articles, plan trips, and improve the necessary skills to succeed in a scientific career (e.g., networking). The structure of the club is more academically oriented than traditional student clubs at NVU-Johnson, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have fun!
