Not everything you learn at college happens in the classroom. Of course your academic work is central, but college, and preparing for life as a college graduate, is more than just academics. Working side-by-side with your classmates and peers to do things like produce a weekly radio show or organize a service trip to Nicaragua will leave you not just with great memories but also skills and experiences that will translate to your professional life.

Check out the list of current student groups. If you don’t see something that works for you — create your own!
