Student Activities Team

The Student Activities Team is committed to maximizing the student experience through the planning and implementation of an array of programs that educate and entertain audiences. We achieve this by planning and executing programs that create a comprehensive program for a diverse audience. The team is in charge of all things involving activities on campus for students, making sure that all of the little details for every event go smoothly.

You can find them at every event: setting up, participating and taking down. Thanks to the Student Activities team, this school has many educational, recreational, social, and cultural events running year round. Some examples include but are not limited to; Trivia Night, Glow in the Dark Roller Rink, The Warrior Expo, Bowling Nights, and all new activities that you plan! Members attend weekly meetings. Have new ideas come by Office 255 in the Student Activity Center!
