Clubs & Organizations
Find A Student Club & Get Involved!
Employers are not only looking to hire graduates that are well rounded in experiences inside but also outside the classroom. Participating in a student club or organization is as much a part of the college experience as attending lectures and taking finals.
Student clubs are a great way to meet new people who share your interests, enthusiasm, build your resume/cv, and to make friendships that will last a lifetime.
Make the most of your Auburn experience by getting involved in at least one student organization. Campus-wide, Auburn has 300 student clubs, 23 of which are in the College of Agriculture. Browse our groups, find your passion and join.
