From cultural groups to career-focused organizations, some might say clubs are at the heart of campus life. Clubs provide opportunities to create social networks, apply education in real-life environments, and improve mental wellness.
Joining a club increases students' chances of having a more personal connection with their professors. Jacob Stathis, a fellow Snow College student states, “If a professor is in charge of a club, I go and make good friends with them”.
Mark Andreasen, a professor at Snow College and director of the Business Club, says, “There are several advantages [for joining the business club], I would say one of them is you get to put into practice what you're learning in class and what you learn in college makes or breaks your experience.”
Students also find that clubs are a way to relax before returning to schoolwork. Elizabeth Madsen, a fourth-year student at Snow College, speaking of her past experience says, “Going to country swing dance each week helped my mental health for schoolwork.”
This year, to sign up for clubs, Snow College students go to “club rush” which will be held on September 3rd from 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. in the Greenwood Student Center.
