Student Involvement
With more than 200 student organizations on campus it's easy to find people who share your interests, or to discover new ones.
Art students participate in a wide variety of student organizations, including academic clubs and societies, visual and performing arts, community service groups, health and wellness organizations, business/career-focused clubs, and faith-based groups, among many others.
In addition to the many existing opportunities for involvement, Davidson supports students who wish to create new ones. If you have an idea or vision that is not realized in the existing student organizations, the Student Activities Office will work with you to develop your idea and create a new group.
Coming into college, I was surprised by how easy it was to find friends with similar interests. This year, I食色官网檓 hoping to become involved with different organizations across campus and keep connecting with like-minded people.
