Student Clubs
Student clubs are a great opportunity for Columbus State students to develop a sense of community, build leadership skills, and get engaged on our campus! Fortunately, Columbus State offers a variety of organizations that you can join. Student clubs are completely student-led and formed based on the wants and needs of the current student body including academic, special interests, and cultural identities.
Notice: Temporary Freeze on Creation of New Student Clubs and Organizations
To ensure the continued success and support of our existing student organizations, the College has implemented a temporary freeze on the creation of new student clubs and organizations. This decision will remain in effect until further notice.
We recognize the importance of student involvement and leadership on campus and remain committed to providing resources and support for the organizations currently active within our community. We will continue to evaluate how best to serve the needs of our students and may revisit this decision in the future.
Start your student club's year off right as a student club officer or advisor by coming to Club Kickoff where you will learn the ins and outs of how to successfully lead student club operations.
An annual conference for all student club officers and advisors comprised of opportunities for professional development, resource sharing, food and fun!
An opportunity for Columbus State students, faculty and staff to connect and learn more about student clubs!
