Student Organizations

Babylon Student Center 100, (631) 451-4376

Student organizations provide an opportunity for students to meet new people, participate in field trips, be

part of group discussions, network with alumni, and make connections with faculty members. They establish

an environment for students to develop leadership styles, communication techniques, and understand group

dynamics. Student organizations also complement classroom learning in a co-curricular manner.

Student organizations are administered through the Office of Campus Activities and Student Leadership

Development with the assistance of faculty members who volunteer to serve as advisors. Most student

organizations hold meetings on Wednesdays during Common Hour. Special events and other meetings are

scheduled throughout the week. All events are listed on the Calendar of Events on the College’s Web site.

Events are also publicized on campus through flyers, e-mail and the Calendar of Events publication.

The Office of Campus Activities and Student Leadership Development maintains a list of active student

organizations and their advisors, officers, meeting dates, places and times. There are over fifty (50) active

student organizations on the campus. Information on each club can be found on the Web site at

Club events include speakers, films, dances, field

trips, service projects and more. Student organizations are governed by a set of approved policies and

procedures that are detailed in the campus student organizations handbook.
