Did you know that joining a student club or organization can be one of the best ways to gain real world experience?
Oftentimes, students focus on getting an internship, co-op, or part-time job to build their experience (which is definitely great!); however, involvement on campus is just as valuable for developing their leadership, teamwork, and professional skills. Sometimes being involved on campus can also give you the opportunity to participate in events and networking opportunities!
Getting involved in a student club or organization can help you to explore your different interests, build a professional network, and practice and refine some of the skills you will utilize in your future career.
Whether you are a student in the Manning School of Business, or someone interested in a career in business, here are some of the student clubs and organizations at UMass Lowell that you can get involved with:
