5 Reasons Why You Should Join a Student Club or Organization
Involve yourself with what’s going on on campus and make new friends through a student 组织! 他们经常提供领导机会, 学习经验, 以及与专业人士交流的环境. Here are five great benefits of joining student clubs or 组织s:
1. 更好的成绩和时间管理
While you may think that keeping up with your classes is going to be too much, think again. Joining a student club or 组织 can give you great skills in balancing your time. Because you will have other projects or deadlines to complete outside of the ones for your classes, you will learn how to create this balance between involvement and school, while still leaving free time for yourself to do other activities you enjoy. Studies show that working about 20 hours a week or less can actually raise your GPA, so get involved! Don't forget to schedule an appointment with the 辅导及建议 Office to get your 学术 questions answered:

2. 网络或社交
One of the benefits of joining student club or 组织 is being able to network with others with similar interest or learning about other people. Networking is highly important in our world today and can help you achieve your goals. This is the perfect time to expand your network and work on those socializing skills.
3. 经验
也许你在高中时什么都没参与, so you’re looking to gain experience working with others or planning events in college. 学生俱乐部或组织可以给你这样的机会. Depending on the kind of club or 组织 you are looking to join, 你可以获得大量宝贵的经验. Employers don’t only look at the grades you received in classes you took. They also want to see what you do outside of the classroom. 协调一个巨大的, on-campus event can be used in the real world beyond college. If you want an extra experience outside of your major classes, you could potentially join a student club or 组织 tied to your major.

4. 社区
Joining a student club or 组织 is an easy, quick way to meet people. 开始上大学可能很吓人, and dipping your toes in a student club or 组织 can help you transition to college life. Look at student 组织s that actually interest you; they will be full of other people with the same interests. If you’re nervous about how to go about talking to new people, don’t worry! Lots of 组织s facilitate icebreakers early on when new students join. If the club really is something you’re interested in, it’ll be easy to talk about with other members. 因为大多数组织每个月都会开几次会, you’ll be able to make friends fast and build a community.

5. 有趣的
Besides all of the real-world skills you can get from a student club or 组织, 你也可以有很多乐趣! The other members will become some of your closest friends and biggest supporters all while you get to do something you love. Seeing hundreds or thousands of students attending an event you helped put on can be the best feeling in the world. 无论是校园活动俱乐部, 为你最喜欢的慈善机构举办的大型筹款活动, 或者是一个食物品尝活动, 你可以创造新的记忆. 访问田径页看到所有的运动乐趣:
