“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.”
