Get Started > Campus Life Because college is about more than what happens in the classroom More than classroom learning, college is a time to learn about yourself. Every day, you’ll experience growth, discovery and new connections that all take place outside of the classroom. That’s why there's no shortage of clubs, organizations and social events to be a part of here on campus. Taking advantage of all there is to do on campus allows you to live your college life to the fullest. Explore Your Opportunities > It’s your life. Don’t wait for it to happen to you. Take the power of your commitment and fuel it with knowledge. Go into the world, not as a spectator, but as the one who makes things happen. Become the teacher or entrepreneur, the engineer or the caregiver — be the force of purpose. Do something that matters.
