Student Organizations

Joining a club or organization can enhance a students' academic and personal development. Students can grow and have fun with fellow students and create a richer experience at NWHSU by joining an existing club or starting a new one.

Groups of students who share a common interest, either social or professional, may organize and seek recognition as a student organization through the Office of Student Affairs. These approved organizations reflect a wide range of interests, including an array of professional, political, social and recreational groups. 

Student organizations provide an opportunity for students to participate and contribute to student leadership and governance. Through involvement in student organizations, the student body enjoys the benefits of those contributions that enhance the quality of student life and improve the educational program.

Special interest student organizations plan programs, guest speakers and events with their corresponding local and national professional organizations. They work to form mutually beneficial, reciprocal relationships between students, practitioners, and the general public by becoming involved in community activities. They are an important voice of leadership on issues regarding professional practice and education.

There are also a number of extracurricular clubs that provide activities throughout the year including hockey, baseball, softball, volleyball, basketball, soccer, and martial arts. In addition to these activities, Student Senate funds are used to maintain the University Fitness Center. The Fitness Center promotes physical and mental well-being for the campus community, offering aerobic and cardio equipment, weight machines, free-weights, and gymnasium space for basketball and other group activities. For more information about our fitness facilities and their hours, visit the Fitness Facilities website.

A list of clubs and organizations, as well as information on starting a club or organization of your own, can be found on NWHSU's Student Clubs and Organizations webpage.
