The School of Business

Student Organizations - Undergraduate

Why should you join a student group?

Research shows that students who participate in student organizations are more likely to stay in school, get better grades, be happier in college, learn more, get better jobs, make more money and graduate.

Networking, networking, networking. Who you know in the field will help you get your foot in the door.
Student Orgs are the best way to knock on the door! 

Develop invaluable leadership skills. Be better prepared to enter the job market. Successfully tackling organization events and projects shows your potential to an employer.  

Better yourself as a student and beyond! Research from a recent National Association of College and Employers shows that students who join student organizations are much more likely to:

  • Have higher GPAs
  • Stay in college and graduate
  • Have higher self-esteem and self-confidence

Add to your resume! Your experience outside of the classroom will make your resume stand out from other applicants. Recruiters look for students with Student Org experience and will want to talk with you. 

Learn about your major in a real-world setting. See what you are learning in class come to life and experience, in a real way, what your future will be!
