Clubs to Explore at UWB
Newly Admitted Students
Dear Newly Admitted Students,
Now, that you are officially a Husky at UWB, you be wondering what’s next? How are you going to make friends, get to know the city of Bothell and maintain a good GPA. Doing all of these without breaking down?
Well, at University of Washington Bothell there are over 100 opportunities for you to explore, grow, lead and share, with support from a variety of offices like Student Affairs, Recreational & wellness Services, Center for International Education and Clubs and organizations.
Student organizations can be an important part of your growth during your college career. Not only do they provide the resources needed to succeed in the world, they can give you some of the best people you’ve ever met, building friendships that last a lifetime. Student organizations can give you access to opportunities you won’t find anywhere else. Being involved can be important to your attitude toward college that can either make or break your stay. I have listed a few clubs that I think might interest you and that could upgrade your experience here at UWB.
1. International Club
One of the most diverse club at the University of Washington Bothell. Their goal is to connect all different nationalities into a common place, they often host outdoors activities and enjoy the recreational times with members and outside community.
2. Intramural Sports
UWB Intramural Sports program creates an environment where students, faculty and staff have the opportunity to gather and participate in various sport and leisure activities regardless of skill level and ability. Intramural Activities are comprised of traditional team sports with leagues and playoffs, as well as leisure activities and tournaments. The program is open to any currently enrolled student at UWB. Keep an eye on this website and IMLeagues for dates and details.
3. Academic club
Biology major? Sign up for Biology club. Mathematics Major? Sign up for the Mathematics Society Club. Many disciplines at UWB have either a club or a program dedicated to helping students expand their knowledge of the given field. Also, they will introduce you to other people with similar interests to you. You'll probably meet people who can give you recommendations for which teachers or classes to take. These clubs can often connect you with alumni in your field of interest-- think internships!!
And, if you’re looking to apply to graduate school after undergrad, these clubs give you the experience you’re desperate for when it comes to research skills.
4. Student Government
To learn more about why and how things that happen at your UWB happen, look no further than the Student Affairs. You’ll be much more aware and capable of voicing opinions about your UWB’s on-going activities. Plus, the opportunity to gain leadership experience is priceless.
5. Start your own club
Do you have an interest in a club that doesn't exist yet? Start your own club! Not only does this look good to future employers, but it gives you the opportunity to get involved with something you really enjoy.
