Student Clubs & Interest Groups

Listen

Student clubs and interest groups are a great way to get involved and make new friends. They also offer leadership opportunities, learning experiences and skills to add to your resume.

There are two tiers of club organizations at Ridgewater: clubs and interest groups. Clubs have an advisor, a constitution, a mission statement, and a budget to spend on club events and travel. Interest groups are a more laid-back tier of clubs that are student-led (without an advisor) and can meet on campus during the college’s open hours. Student Life will assist in advertising meetings and events for both clubs and interest groups.

Find the club, interest group, or campus organization that interests you.
