Student Activities

Student representatives are selected for service on various types of committees at the collegiate level. The participation of student representatives provides a means for students to voice their concerns and to take an active role in matters relating to them.

Majors and minors from other colleges of the university may wish to become active members of one of the special interest student organizations. Students who are enrolled in other colleges of the university may apply for and be recognized as associate members of the various clubs. These clubs, sponsored by the COBA, were organized in order to provide an opportunity for students with similar professional interests to participate as a group in social and intellectual activities.

The clubs meet on a regular basis in order to discuss and adopt policies and activities that are agreeable to and in the best interest of the membership. Their members are also interested in promoting extracurricular activities, such as inviting members of the community to speak on campus and arranging visits to interesting and informative businesses in the local area.

The presidents of the student organizations in the College of Business Administration are official members of the Dean’s Council of Students. The council meets with the dean of the college periodically to discuss matters that concern students of the college.
