Student Activities helps students find their way by providing a multitude of opportunities to get involved on campus and helping registered student organizations to be successful.
Are you interested in joining a club?
With over 400 registered student organizations (RSOs) from which to choose, students have the opportunity to explore interests, develop academics, and hone leadership skills.
Winter Fest 2022
Similar to Festival ISU, Winter Fest provides students with an opportunity to learn about the wide variety of Illinois State University registered student organizations (RSOs) and discover ways to get involved on campus. Winter Fest 2022 will be on Wednesday, February 2 from 4–7 p.m. in the Brown Ballroom of the Bone Student Center.
