Organized by academic departments or professional programs, these groups bring together students, faculty and staff who have common academic or career interests.

These programs represent a broad range of activities and interests, and they are usually open to both first-year and upper-class students. Because they represent specialized fields of study, these groups are often targeted toward students who have progressed in their majors. Listed below are several examples. Be sure to check with your academic adviser for opportunities that fit your interests.
