Student Engagement Opportunities
University of Jamestown strives to offer a wide variety of opportunities for students to become engaged during this time in college. These activities and events include free entertainment and performers, athletic events, concerts and plays, clubs/organizations and more. Some of our students' favorite events are Welcome Weekend, Homecoming, Casino Night, and the annual Jimmie Thrift Store. Many of these events are free and hosted by the Student Engagement Team (SET).
Student Senate
The Student Senate provides a formal platform for student opinion. This organization initiates student reform, promotes activities on campus, and nominates students to faculty committees. All students are encouraged to become involved with the Student Senate.
Student Representatives on Committees
Student representatives on faculty committees participate actively in the selected functions of those committees. Students are invited to serve on a number of faculty and administrative committees.
Athletics
The University holds memberships in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for both men and women and in the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC).
Varsity athletic teams compete in football, basketball, wrestling, indoor and outdoor track and field, baseball, cross country, swimming and diving, volleyball, fast-pitch softball, golf, and soccer. Students receive free admittance into athletic events with their student ID.
Fine Arts
Music
The University of Jamestown students may participate in various performing ensembles: Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band, Chamber Orchestra, Concert Choir, and Chapel Choir. Additional small ensembles, both instrumental and vocal, provide further opportunities for students to diversify their musical experiences. The Music Department also offers a wide range of private lessons, including instrumental, vocal, and piano.
Drama
The Theatre Department provides opportunities for students to participate in drama productions in the Reiland Fine Arts Center. Students from every academic major are cast in productions and have many chances to work on stage or backstage. No experience is necessary.
Campus Organizations
Campus organizations offer students the opportunity to develop leadership skills and to meet new people. University-recognized organizations are formed based on student interest, skill, and the availability of a staff or faculty advisor.
