Joining a student organization or club can help you make friends, develop leadership skills, find others with similar values and passions, and get involved in meaningful projects. Our clubs and organizations, teams, association and society student chapters, and honor fraternities and sororities range from cross-college groups to those related to majors offered by the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences.
