Clubs at colleges build a sense of unity in students, helps students make friends and can even help students in future professional endeavors. Slippery Rock University has a large number of clubs and organizations for students to choose from. In fact, SRU currently offers 217 clubs of all different types.
This pie chart shows the categories of clubs Slippery Rock offers. Currently, academic and professional, and recreational, sports and fitness categories hold the most numbers of clubs. Event programming, student governance, and veteran and military categories hold the least number of clubs.
Every school year, the number of clubs and organizations students at SRU can join fluctuates.
This chart indicates the number of clubs and organizations offered at SRU for the past six years. Currently, 217 clubs are offered at SRU which is the most that has been offered at SRU in the past six years. This upswing in organizations has come just shortly after covid-19 forced all classed and clubs to move to an online format. In the 2019-2020 school year, there is a significant downturn in organizations on campus. 150 clubs were offered at SRU which is 58 less clubs than what were offered in the 2018-2019 school year. This is due to the Spring semester in 2020 when covid forced clubs to go online being a part of the club count.
Megan Best, Freshman Theatre major and President of the film society was not surprised by the data. Once the campus opened up for students, clubs were eagerly looking for more members leading to the highest number of student clubs and organizations in the past six years.
