Involvement in Campus Life is an important part of any student’s college experience. Participation in student organizations and volunteer opportunities will energize your campus life experience and improve your opportunity for success at Boise State University.
From Service Organizations to Residence Hall Councils, over 160 student organizations exist at BSU. On Wednesday, Sept. 12, the Annual Fall Organization Fair, sponsored by the Student Union & Activities, will host student organizations and departments looking for new members, new volunteers and even new employees.
From 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on the Quad, you can talk to student leaders about their experiences and learn to expand your definition of Campus Life.
Involvement in student organizations and volunteer opportunities provides so many benefits:
Involvement and leadership opportunities can be found throughout campus. A Guide to Campus Involvement, that includes a complete listing of Academic & Professional, Service & Special Interest, Student Housing, Greek, Religious, Sports, Ethnic/Cultural and Honorary Student Organizations and other involvement opportunities can be picked up at the Student Activities Office on the 1st floor of the Student Union.
You can also stop by the Women’s Center, Cultural Center, Outdoor Center or the offices of the Associated Students (ASBSU), the Student Programs Board (SPB), the Volunteer Services Board (VSB), Service Learning, or Campus Recreation to learn more about volunteer opportunities, campus-wide committee membership or program planning opportunities.
Campus Involvement Opportunities exist for everyone. Whether you just graduated from high school, or you are returning to school searching for a new career, Boise State University can provide a Campus Life Experience that enhances your academic program. Involvement opportunities exist for those of you that can only give a few hours a month, as well as those of you that want to give a few hours a week. If your involvement goals include building relationships with faculty, networking with professionals in your field, taking advantage of social or recreational opportunities, or building your resume, Boise State University has something for you.
I encourage all students to take some time to stop by the Organization Fair on Wednesday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. or stop by the Student Activities Office on the 1st floor of the Student Union from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. and learn how to make the most of your college experience. GET INVOLVED!
