ASUCC Promotes Clubs

Greetings my fellow students and friends,
It was been shown that staying involved on campus is a great way to succeed while in college. It gives students the opportunity to “be part of a group” and have their voices heard!! One of the exciting ways to get involved on campus is to join one of the many ASUCC sponsored clubs that meet regularly during school hours. Students in clubs have the opportunity to host activities, make new friends with similar interests and be more informed about campus happenings. Also, this is a golden chance to put the stress of schoolwork to the side for a moment and focus on having fun. I encourage you all to take a moment and look over the clubs and organizations that are currently offered here at UCC. Read More
