Your Kid has Graduated High School! Now What? Part V: Campus Activities and other Extracurriculars

College campuses and universities are almost always buzzing with some type of collective activity. From fundraisers to club enrollments to activism, these activities promote a sense of belonging among and within groups. 

​Outside of Greek life, most are free to join and offer a multitude of events throughout the semester to encourage participation and to express any concerns students may have. 

Registered Student Organizations (RSO) are a key part of campus life. They are under the guidance of a faculty member and advisor, and through a developed purpose, they support students in bolstering the passion they need to excel in their chosen majors. 

Some examples of RSOs are:
  • Accounting Clubs
  • African Student Association
  • Agriculture Club
  • Greek Life
  • Chemistry Club
  • American Institute of Graphic Artists
  • American Sign Language Organization
  • American Society of Civil Engineers
  • and many, many, MANY more! 
These clubs and organizations promote many different things and encourage students to become active not only on campus, but in their local communities through fundraising, outreach, conservation, and education. 

But let's not forget the biggest segment of university life: College Sports. While I'm not a sports fan, I can only tell you that from my experience, it's all about Football! But there are some wild fans of basketball, baseball, rubgy, volleyball, lacrosse, tennis, bowling, swimming, and just about every other sport you can fathom, too! 

Parents, ensure your new college student is aware of all the programs, clubs, organizations, and sports teams that are available. Encourage them to seek membership and to be active in their roles as members. This helps them build the confidence they will need when they enter the workforce. 

Hey, it also adds some nice sparkle to their resume or CV when the time comes! 

Ciao!
