Student Organizations
Here at National Louis University, we have a variety of organizations to appeal to nearly every interest. NLU has many student led organizations within the areas of culture, sports and recreation, academic, social, service, performance, spiritual/religious, and Greek life. NLU’s Student organizations provide opportunities for students to grow as leaders, engage in professional development, explore a variety of cultural experiences and pursue a variety of non-academic interests.
Six reasons why YOU should join a student organization:
- It allows students to become connected to their school: Colleges are full of resources, but the responsibility is on the student to seek them out. Being involved helps you do that!
- It helps you build community: Getting involved helps you discover new friends with similar interests.
- It allows you to discover unique passions and strengths: These will follow you all through life.
- It's a résumé builder: Freshman year is not too soon to begin thinking about positioning yourself for future employment.
- Involved students are more likely to graduate.
- As a result of your involvement, you will gain knowledge, skills and experience in leadership, communication, problem-solving, group development and management, budgeting and finance, presentation and public speaking, and much more!
