Because you can make a positive difference in the world. Yes, YOU. Whether you have one hour, or more,
to spare, every little bit helps! Please don't just sit there. Do something.

Benefits of Getting Involved
Research on college students has shown that if you're involved in at least one thing on campus other than
your class work, your success in the classroom and after graduation is much more likely. There are lots
of benefits of getting involved, but here are just a few of what we feel are
the most important ones:
Students who are involved...

On average, have better grades than their uninvolved colleagues.
-
Have more discipline and manage their time better because of the need to fit more things in their daily schedule.
-
Improve their leadership and interpersonal skills.
-
Meet new people and make new friends.
-
Make constructive use of their energy and free time.
-
Fell more connected to the University.
-
Have a great outlet for stress.
-
Become part of close communities.
-
Just generally have more fun!
