1. If you like academics…
Siena has a bunch of academic clubs you can join! Try joining the club that corresponds to your major or minor, or branch out a little and try something totally different. These clubs are the right place to be if you love to talk about a certain subject or just like having interesting, thought-provoking conversations! There’s the American Sign Language Club, Biology Club, Economic Students Association, History Club, Philosophy Club, Political Science Society, Study Abroad Club and many more! Check out all the academic clubs Siena has to offer here. (Plus, professors will sometimes give extra credit for attending certain club meetings!)
2. If you’re interested in service…
Saints are known for their love of service and helping others. Luckily, there are many clubs and organizations on campus that help facilitate this! Try joining Best Buddies, Colleges Against Cancer, e-NABLE, Habitat for Humanity or the Mentoring Program. Plus check out the Franciscan Center for Service and Advocacy for more service opportunities.
3. If you want to be a leader…
Get involved in one of the Student Government Association organizations! These include the Commuter Student Association, Residence Hall Association, Student Senate and Student Events Board. Each organization has different opportunities for you to become more involved on campus and take on a leadership role. You’ll get to have your voice heard on campus and work with students of all majors and years.
4. If you like being active…
There are a TON of intramural sports clubs open to Siena students. From Equestrian Club to Fitness Club to Club Baseball to Tennis Club, there’s something for everyone. Plus, join the Outing Club to take your adventures to the next level!
5. If you want to learn about different cultures or more about your own…
There are so many ways to learn about different cultures. One option is to join one of Siena’s many clubs promoting awareness and appreciation of other cultures and other people. Try going to a few meetings of these clubs: Asian Students Association, Black and Latino Student Union, International Students Association, Italian Club, Latinos Unificado Nuestra America (LUNA), Spanish Club, plus more!

Do you like to write and share your thoughts with the world? Sign up for English Society, Her Campus Siena, Pendragon, or the Promethean. (Bonus: these all look FANTASTIC on a resume!)
8. If you still can’t find anything…
Nothing here interests you? Have a unique interest you think others on campus would want to learn more about? Start a new club!
