College Life

College is about more than just going to class and studying, it's a totallife experience. Your college days will have a lasting impact on you and your life for years and years beyond graduation. One way to get the most out of your college experience is to get involved in campus activities, clubs, and organizations. Each campus has different organizations that cater to a variety of interests. Here are a few to consider:

Student Government Association (SGA)
	Like the student council in high school, the Student Government Association (SGA) is a student-governed organization that provides Governmental, Legislative and Judicial services for the student body. It is the official voice of the students and establishes the nexus between the student body and the administration. The Student Government Association consists of three distinct branches: the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch and the Judicial Branch.
Greek Life
	Greek Organizations offer students an opportunity to enhance University life in a unique environment. Fraternities and sororities promote scholarship, encourage community service, philanthropy work, and allow for athletic and intramural opportunities.
Division of Student Affairs
	The Division of Student Affairs' mission is to promote student development and leadership by providing quality programs and services that fulfill the diverse educational, recreational, social, and multicultural needs of the student population and the university community.
Campus Recreation
	The mission of the Department of Campus Recreation is to provide students, faculty, staff, and members of the campus community the opportunity to experience lifelong activities while enhancing their well-being by promoting fitness and wellness, by offering a positive outlet for stress, by providing safe and clean quality facilities, equipment, and programs. Furthermore, the Department of Campus Recreation strives to promote a positive healthy experience while building interpersonal and leadership skills.
