Be a part of something!

You've heard the advice before -- get involved, join a club. At Nassau there's an especially important reason to do so. We're a very large commuter college. Involvement is a good way to develop relationships with other students and to create a sense of community for yourself and others.

Participation in student groups provides opportunities for you to get to know a group of classmates and a faculty member, to pursue a particular interest, to learn more about your major, to celebrate your culture and/or religion, or just to have fun.

Involvement affords you opportunities to attend鈥攁nd even plan鈥攕ocial and educational programs for your group and the entire student body. Some groups also offer you the chance to provide a service for the whole campus.

We hope that one of the student groups described below will interest you. If not, the Office of Student Activities will be happy to help you start your own club. Stop by Room 150 in the College Center if you have questions or need help.

Students who are involved in clubs and organizations say that it makes a great deal of difference in their attitude toward Nassau. So give yourself the chance to make Nassau a more complete experience. Join a club! Give yourself a full college experience!

Student Organizations

A: ACCESS CLUB

The Access Club is an organization whose goal is to heighten the awareness of students and faculty to the rights, needs, and responsibilities of students who happen to have a disability. The club meets biweekly to discuss student experiences and plan events that promote our mission.

For the future we are planning a barbecue and other awareness programs. Although the club's focus is on issues regarding the disabled student, we encourage all students to join us. So come see us and learn what equal access is all about.

In addition, we have workshops on resume writing and interview preparation. Future events include a trip to local accounting firms and an end-of-year luncheon for our members and faculty.
