It's important for students to have a well-rounded college experience. Campus involvement provides an opportunity to develop valuable skills, cultivate deeper relationships with others, and complement what students learn in the classroom.
We encourage students to engage with their classmates early. Students who connect to campus early on report higher satisfaction and success rates. You can help students balance activities and avoid getting over programmed by encouraging them to focus on one or two activities that really interest them.
The first week of fall term, we sponsor welcome week activities, including a student involvement fair that familiarizes them with the variety of clubs and organizations offered at Transylvania as well as the many all-campus events designed to introduce them to upperclass students.
