At Wesleyan, students take clubs and student organizations to a whole new level. Established groups focus on themes ranging from political awareness to spiritual development to musical appreciation.
So what's your passion -- Americans for informed democracy, protecting human rights, fencing, equestrian, art, or cultural and international awareness? Perhaps "The Harry Potter and Other Marginalized Literature, Including But Not Limited to Fantasy and Science Fiction Club" fits your personal mission statement.
See if one of the forty-plus different clubs, student organizations, special interest groups, leadership boards, religious groups, and service organizations captures your attention. Don't see a club that interests you? Start one!
At Wesleyan, horizons are broadened far beyond the classroom. Want to learn to fence? Speak a new language? Volunteer for a global cause? Our students are doing that, and more. In fact, it's often during "extra" curricular activities that Wesleyan women really learn to be leaders.
