Student Activities and Organizations

As participating members of the IUP community, students occupy a responsible role in governing and shaping campus life. Since a valuable part of education lies in participation in groups and activities where experience in leadership, social and community responsibility, intellectual curiosity, and religious interests can be met, active participation in varied organizations is available and encouraged.

There are currently more than 180 recognized student organizations at IUP advised by faculty or staff selected by the students. Students are also encouraged to initiate and support new groups which reflect interests not represented by existing organizations.

Under the supervision of the Office of Student Activities and Organizations and funded for the most part by the Student Cooperative Association, many activities are orchestrated by students and offer entertainment and cultural programs for the entire university community. These activities provide a significant opportunity for students to become more involved with their campus as well as to experience the growth and personal development that involvement provides.

Organizations and activities sponsoring many IUP events include The Entertainment Network (TEN), Artist Series, Black Emphasis Committee, Ideas and Issues Series, Summer Activities, and the University Concert Committee. Participation in these and other groups is strongly encouraged.
