Campus and Student Organizations are an integral part of the Marymount College community. They provide students with a variety of opportunities to explore their academic, professional, political, social, cultural, recreational, spiritual and service interests. Through involvement in organizations, students are able to develop interpersonal, organizational and leadership skills. Any group of students may organize a student organization or program, provided the goals and activities are consistent with the mission of the College. The different organizations or programs sponsored by students vary from semester to semester depending upon the interests of the students. Any student wishing to start a student organization should consult with Kelly Krusee, Director of Student Life & Engagement at kkrusee@marymountpv.edu. |
