Our Students: Clubs and Activities
草莓影视 students come from all over the country and from around the world. Campus life is a great mix of classroom learning, opportunities to serve others, and plenty of time to develop deep friendships and learn from your fellow students.
Student organizations, from academic honor societies to special interest clubs to intramural sports, are an important part of living and learning here. Through these activities you鈥檒l discover new interests, connect with people from many communities, and help others learn about the things you think are important. Some groups are pretty casual and others ask for a deeper commitment. While the list below is long, it鈥檚 not necessarily comprehensive鈥攁nd there are still opportunities for you to start a new club or activity.
Academic Clubs

鈥淚 played soccer in high school and wanted to play in college. I fell in love with the community when I walked on campus. The people are super nice, and I love the Christian foundation. Playing on the soccer team is like being part of a family and helps me broaden my community.鈥� –听Ric (Frederick) Anderson C鈥�17
