Get involved with your academic department, major or discipline.

Choose from competitive and non-competitive intramurals, clubs and teams. Sports can be a great complement to your academics. Check out the personal fitness opportunities and outdoor recreation programs.

Explore, educate, celebrate and increase campus understanding and support of specific shared identities and experiences such as race, class, gender, sexual orientation, ability, veteran status and ethnicity.

With over 300 registered student clubs and organizations, you will definitely find something of interest to you.

Build strong communities through meaningful community engagement. Many of these organizations provide volunteer opportunities for civic-minded students eager to serve the campus and/or community.

Explore organizations and resources that are committed to supporting and learning about those who have served.

Engage in student employment during your studies, and you’ll have the opportunity to gain valuable work experience to include on your résumé, earn money to assist with educational and personal expenses, and develop a network of contacts including supervisors, co-workers and fellow students.

The best advice I can give anyone is to get involved. Simply joining a student organization led to employment opportunities on campus, allowing me to help produce some of the largest events on campus each semester. Through these events and projects, I've made invaluable connections, experiences, and memories during my time at NMU. In short, pick at least one thing to be involved in - you never know what it will lead to!
