Clubs & Activities

At WSU, you’re more than just a student. Your social life is a big part of your college experience.

You are part of a campus community, which means making friends, having fun, and exploring interests outside the classroom.

Whether you’re a leader or a team player, there are so many ways for you to join in at WSU.

Whatever way you choose to get involved, you can build up your co-curricular transcript. The co-curricular transcript is an official document that tracks your commitments outside the classroom that you can include on job or graduate school applications.

It’s a great representation of all the skills and experiences you gained in college beyond what your GPA can reflect.

Student Clubs & Organizations
With well over 100 student clubs at WSU, you have options to find your niche with like-minded people and expand your network with those of different perspectives.
