Ski and Snowboard Club
If you like skiing or snowboarding and are looking to go on more trips, you’d like the Ski and Snowboard Club. They do events such as social gatherings, movie premieres, trips to local ski hills and more.

PRISM
PRISM is based out of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, but it’s open to all majors. They’re a student group that promotes diversity in media and have professional networking, campus events and leadership and teamwork skill building.
Students for a Democratic Society
If you’re interested in politics and fighting for what you believe in, check out Students for a Democratic Society, or SDS. Some of the things they fight against are racism, homophobia and sexism. Their events include educational events, grassroots campaigns, protests and cultural activities.
Sport Management Association
Here at the U, there are so many different clubs associated with our wide variety of majors. One example is the Sport Management Association. SMA works to provide the club members with insight on the sports marketplace. They attend games, have public speakers, tour facilities and volunteer. This is just one of many examples of the major centric clubs at the U.
Clearly there are plenty of clubs at the University of Minnesota that are available for everyone to join. Check out a club you’re interested in and attend a meeting to get involved!
