Clubs and Organizations

More than 30 student organizations representing a wide array of interests are active at NDNU. Student organizations are an important part of student activities and allow you to pursue your special interests—both new ones and those you bring to campus.

Student Life and Leadership works with student organizations in planning on-campus meetings, workshops, speakers, cultural programs, service projects and other special events. Getting involved in a student organization is a great way to meet others, develop leadership skills, and pursue your interests. You can get involved at whatever level works best for you.
