World Campus Student Organizations

World Campus Student Organizations

"As a distance learner, being able to participate in a student organization, like World Campus Sustainability Club, helped me feel more connected to the university and my peers. I was able to interact with other students outside of the classroom and form lasting bonds that we will carry with us past the completion of our degree programs." - Alicia Peck, ESPBS student, World Campus Sustainability Club President

World Campus Sustainability Club

Yes, there are many clubs available to World Campus students, and the World Campus Sustainability Club(link is external) is one of them! I am currently serving as the club's adviser, and we meet online, via Zoom at least once a month. The Club's Board (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) meets regularly to discuss things like upcoming events, membership drives, and the latest Sustainability related news. In addition, the members have been hosting guest speakers like Michael Mann (You can listen to his 43-minute talk here (transcript)) and running a monthly reading series!

There are many reasons to get involved with a club, including the valuable interactions and networking opportunities with your peers and instructors (it's never too early to be thinking about your impending job search!), increased access to relevant information and opportunities, and don't forget that club involvement (especially holding a leadership position) is a great resume booster!

The Sustainability Club is always looking for new members! Consider joining as a regular member or run for an officer position! Either way, contact the group at: psusustainabilityclub@gmail.com(link sends e-mail)
