Be Involved
Students will still have the opportunity to build community and get involved. Many of our student clubs and media organizations will be holding virtual club meetings, holding online events, and supporting peers through community building on social media and via the campus Zoom platform.
Many club meetings may occur online. We are committed to continuing this important leadership and community building opportunities for students.
