Clubs & Organizations

A big part of an enjoyable, well-rounded college experience happens outside the classroom. Clubs & Organizations provide the opportunity to explore new interests and discover more about yourself. With more than 75+ clubs and 7 organizations to choose from, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to make new friends, discover new hobbies, and develop your leadership, organizational, and creative skills.

We believe you have the ability to connect with great student leaders and make your time here at RWU a memorable one. Becoming involved in clubs is a great way to meet like-minded students with similar interests. By joining one of our organizations, students are able to make a difference campus wide.

  • Connect with students and help make a difference on campus in the community by joining the Multicultural Student Union or the Sexuality and Gender Alliance.
  • Report on everything RWU by writing for the Hawks Herald, our campus newspaper.
  • Become a member of the student radio station, WQRI 88.3fm, and have your own radio show.
  • Represent the RWU student body and help create change on the Student Senate.
  • Be a representative for your class and plan exciting class specific events as a member of the Inter-Class Council.
  • Plan large scale events such as concerts, carnivals, and many other exciting events with the Campus Entertainment Network.
  • Build your skillsets and give back through pre-professional societies, non-profit organizations, and talent and skill groups.
  • Have fun, stay active, and make friends with our athletic opportunities.

Our goal is to provide opportunities for all students to enrich their academic experiences. We want each person to find ways to grow and develop over their time at RWU, to enhance their collegiate experience, and to leave a positive impact on campus.
