Student Clubs

Each of these organizations solicits membership from newly admitted students during Club Week, the first week of classes. Very often there is a nominal fee of $20 for membership, which helps to cover the costs of many of the events that each organization holds throughout the academic year. Such events include guest speakers, field trips, case competitions, wine and cheese functions and much more. The executive committee for each association is elected towards the end of every academic year for leadership in the following year.
