Choices for Activities students do their only With over 50 clubs and organizations and over 300 activities and pro- grams to experience, many not have school work as concern. The various organizations, whether it be academic, service, social, or athletic, all recruit students to join their organization. Through the Student Government Association, students have a voice in the college governance system, and almost all the clubs and organizations on cam- pus are sponsored financially by the SGA. The Program Committee provides most of the on-campus entertainment, ranging from movies to popular concerts to art exhibits and celebrity and faculty lectures.
