What is a student organization?

A student organization is a group of students who have united under a common purpose. Each organization is unique in terms of why it was founded, what it stands for, and what it does. Student organizations must be recognized through the University and adhere to all University policies and procedures. As a benefit of adhering to University policies and procedures, all recognized student organizations are afforded University specific resources and privileges to help them achieve their goals. 

Why should I join a student organization?

Student organizations provide exciting opportunities to develop leadership, network, make new friends, acquire new skills, plan events, give back to the community, and connect to the USF community.
