students. In addition to regular meetings, student organizations sponsor many campus wide programs and provide opportunities for leadership development. With over 250 registered student organizations, it is easy to find one that is right for you! It is also easy to create a new student organization! Either way, limitless opportunity exists for you to get involved and make a difference during your time at KSU.

Our Student Organization Directory located at www.ksuclubs.com is the best way to research student organizations. You can search organizations by keyword, alphabetically, or by organization type.



Involvement in student organizations will give you the opportunity to make an impact and leave your mark. Through the years, student leaders have learned about civic responsibility and activism, as well as interpersonal dynamics through participation in student organiza- tions. The Department of Student Life & the RSO Team is here to support and assist you in your role as a student leader.
