Student Clubs

Student clubs are a fun way to connect with others who share your interest in a particular country or area. These student-organized and student-run groups can be official (e.g., registered student groups) or informal groups of friends and classmates. Official clubs are eligible for funding from the University and from our department. We can help with making activities announcements, providing space, and finding other resources. The clubs organize a variety of activities; most groups meet at a local coffee shop for conversation or for weekly film nights, play board games in the language, and go to concerts. It all depends on the interests (and motivation) of the group.
