There are many student activities and fun events planned for UJ students throughout the school year. Student activities and events are posted on bulletin boards all over campus, on table tents in the Dining Center, on the online calendar of events, various social media accounts, and in the What’s Happening e-mail. More information can be found at the Student Activities Office located on the first floor of Lyngstad Hall.

Organizations

There are a variety of social and cultural organizations available on-campus for student participation. University-recognized organizations are operated depending upon student interest, skill and the availability of a staff or faculty advisor. To learn how to join a campus organization or group, stop by the Office of Student Affairs in Lyngstad Center or check out the Campus Organizations web site. To start a new campus organization that is officially recognized by UJ, work with the Director of Student Affairs in Lyngstad 111-E. The Student Organization Advisory Committee of the Student Senate will review all applications for the purpose of recognition as an official campus organization. A detailed list of services provided to officially recognized campus organizations can be found in the Student Org. Handbook. Officially recognized campus organizations can submit requests to the Student Senate for funding from the Campus Organization Fund.

The Student Senate is the governing body that represents all UJ students. Student Senate is made up of an Executive Board as well as the general body made up of Class Representatives.
