Get Involved 2008!
Students participating in and serving as leaders in university organizations enjoy many benefits. Individuals may notice significant educational progress as they put into practice the concepts learned in the classroom environment. Further, they report improved interpersonal skills, such as leadership, assertiveness, communication, and organizational skills.
Many students find they can evaluate their strengths, interests, and possible career goals through participation in co-curricular activities. Student leaders may become involved with current community or social action issues, providing significant learning experiences different from the traditional classroom.
Remember to ask yourself:
What am I looking for? Friends? Fun? Professional or career opportunities? Can this group give me that?
