Clubs Our Campus Runs on Clubs

WNE has over 70 clubs and organizations, with plenty of room to grow! You’ll have the freedom to continue activities you already love or try something new. And if we don’t already have your club, you can start it.

If you’re into performing, our Improv on the Rocks comedy troupe or Stageless Players theatre group will be the perfect fit. If you see yourself as a student leader, becoming a Peer Advisor or Resident Advisor or joining Student Senate may be more your speed. We also have clubs focused on diversity and inclusion, gaming, community engagement, media, honor societies, and much more. You’re bound to find something to get involved with!

Clubs and organizations are a huge part of campus life here, so don’t be afraid to jump in and check out all of the choices WNE has to offer.

From the moment you arrive on campus, your Golden Bear family will be beside you, cheering you on and supporting you the whole way. So feel free to explore what we have to offer without worry. We’ve got you.
