It’s another Tuesday night and you’ve finished your homework and you’re stuck watching a movie that you don’t like with your roommates—and you don’t really like them either. Wasn’t college supposed to be more than this? There is still hope. One of the best ways to get the most out of your college experience is to get involved in extra-curricular activities.
How do you find these organizations?
The AS Student Involvement Fair & BBQ is an exciting event to learn about the activities and programs the Associated Students has to offer. This is also an opportunity to be informed on the different student organizations and programs here at CSU, Chico. This event will be September 13th at Trinity Commons from 10 AM-1 PM. Join us for FREE FOOD, MUSIC, and GAMES
But why should you get involved on campus?
After all, you are taking fifteen credits and working a part-time job. You’re tired. But it’s still important to be involved. Involvement in extra-curricular activities enhances your resume. Being a part of these organizations will make you stand out against your peers. Also, it will provide you an opportunity to meet people who have similar interests and enable you to start networking now. Beyond the practical reasons it will be nice to get away from your roommates and meet new people.
These activities and organizations are something to look forward to in your busy week besides class, work, and homework. It’s just a matter of deciding what you want to do and finding or starting an organization catered to whatever you’re interested in. Make it happen!
What does the Associated Students have to offer?
Being a part of the Associated Students is a truly unique college experience. We are the largest student-run, non-profit corporation in Northern California. In addition, we own and operate all campus Dining Services as well as the Student Union and the AS Bookstore.
This semester we face opportunity and challenges that require multiple efforts. There are University committees that need students appointed to them. These committees are a tremendous opportunity to work with faculty and staff. This is an opportunity to learn how the university handles fees, classes and budget, and a great way to represent the larger student body. There are also opportunities to sit on Councils of the Associated Students, topics range from Environmental, Diversity, Community Relations and more!
