Student involvement

This opens the door to more opportunities that students may never experience unless they participate in a club.

Brooke Holden, senior dual major in English and communication, and active member of multiple clubs, said, “Working within a club and organization has given me the experience to work with a team and pushed me to expand upon my leadership skills charismatically.”

Three times a week, Harris sends out emails to the entire student body about university announcements, club information, community service opportunities, and details about upcoming events including the time and location. Students who do not check their email regularly might miss out on upcoming events on campus.

Residence halls are also constantly hosting weekly events that residential students can attend and build connections with others. Information regarding program details are found on fliers and posters hanging up in common around the halls.

“Resident advisers host what we call educational events that are geared to inform residents of different topics from study tips, alcohol & drug education, sex education & much more. Residents not only get snacks but also useful knowledge,” said Brenden Graulau, Fairview Suites residence hall director.

Based on the attendance data provided by Graulau, the average of Fairview residents who attend programs this semester is about 22-25.

Students tend to believe that there is nothing to do on campus; however, numerous events are hosted daily by residence halls, the Student Involvement Office, sports teams, and clubs.

If no active club seems to be of interest, students curious in creating a new club should visit the Student Involvement Office located in the upper level of the Parsons Union Building. For additional information about the clubs offered at LHU or future campus events contact Harris at kharris2@lockhaven.edu.
