“What student organization will you be supporting this year and why?”

There are currently 54 student organizations including all campuses, to let you be a part of a social network of students wanting what each club has to offer.
No one needs to feel left out because there is a tremendous amount of diversity in the clubs.
There are ethnic­­ ‑based clubs, organizations to complement your program, fun‑only clubs, technical associations, and new organizations being formed as we speak.
Check out the listing at: http://www.matc.edu/student/studentlife/organizations.cfm
No one will ever be turned down for membership, and it is a smart résumé builder. If you still don’t think that one meets your wants/needs – then start your own!
Pick up the organization packet in the Student Life office and cultivate your leadership skills to create something from the ground up. Even self-proclaimed “nerds” have a place to be “nerdy.”
Read on to see how students answered the question, “What organization will you be supporting this year and why?”

Timothy Mills, HVAC –  “Student Government and the Black Student Union because these two organizations are reaching out to a lot of the students on campus and getting them involved in events that can eventually help their future.”

David Jones, Business Management – “I haven’t really thought about joining an organization so far, I’m just really trying to focus on my grades.”

Jenny Hernandez, Criminal Justice – “The criminal justice organization just because it’s a good way to network with other police departments and get to know everyone and get comfortable to really know what you’re doing, and they do a lot of volunteer charity  work so it’s a good cause.”

Brandon Winters, Liberal Arts – “ I plan on joining the horror, sci fi, fantasy club (Imaginative Fiction) because I’m interested in a wide variety of subjects like with movies and with books so I think it would just be really fun for me and a good opportunity to meet new people.”

Nikolai Monson, Liberal Arts – “ I am currently the president of the Imaginative Fiction club and me and a couple of other people made it because we are all kind of dorks, nerds, that’s what the club kinda is and since there isn’t a club like that – why not make one.”
