Student Organizations

Transcript

All right, let’s meet Sarah. She’s a senior here from Potomac, Maryland. And she’s gonna tell us all about student organizations here at Tulane, plus some of the clubs and projects she’s part of on campus. Take it away, Sarah.

– Hey everyone. When I was in high school, I was part of student government, I wrote for the school newspaper, and I played soccer. It was important to me to find that same sort of extracurricular well-roundedness and flexibility in college. And I definitely found it at Tulane. Everyone’s a part of a ton of different organizations on campus. So I first got to school, I went to the activities expo, where I signed up to be a DJ for WTL New Orleans, which is our radio station on campus that broadcasts to the entire city. I also got together a bunch of my friends from my freshman year floor to play on an intramural soccer team and we still play on it today. That year, for fall break, I went backpacking with Tulane Outdoor Adventures. I then applied to be a guide for them. So I now plan, budget, and then lead trips throughout the Southeast U.S., for other Tulane students. This past year, a friend and I, along with a couple professors, have been working on a project to bring solar energy to Tulane’s campus, who are sustainability committee of student government. With over 200 student organizations on campus, there’s something for everyone. And if you can’t find something like, you can always start your own club or organization. This past year, I had some friends who started a roller skating club on campus. We also have social and professional Greek organizations, as well as a community service co-ed fraternity. You really can’t walk down McAllister without some club promoting their upcoming events or students campaigning about something they’re passionate about. And it’s always fun to stop and talk to students to see what everyone’s up to on campus. The way you spend your time here outside of your academics is just as important as your study time. Isn’t that right, Alex?

– That’s right, Sarah. Wow, you really can do just about anything at Tulane Sarah, thanks for telling us all about student organizations here and showing us how easy it is to get involved in something you’re passionate about on campus. Thanks, Sarah.
