Worcester State College Student Activities Office

Get Involved!

One of the most important aspects of the Student Activities Office is involvement. Student Activities is an important part of the college experience for students. Not only does this part of our office provide programming for all students on campus from clubs and organizations, but we also play a definitive role in the leadership development of all students involved in clubs and organizations. Our office provides comprehensive leadership training throughout the year with the following programs:

"Leadership to Go" Series - This series is designed to aid student leaders, specifically executive officers, with managing their organizations by teaching them valuable leadership skills in various topics such as, Recruitment and Retention, Budgeting and Contracts, Programming Planning, etc. Student organizations can contact us to speak to their groups regarding these specific topics.

Student Leader Orientation - This leadership retreat is held at the end of August for an entire weekend. All students from clubs and organizations are invited to move back on to campus early to attend the orientation. This is a great opportunity for the student leaders to start the year off right and attend sessions such as Event Planning Training, Treasurer's Workshop, How to Plan a Trip, and Recruitment and Retention.

Helping Emerging Leaders Progress (HELP) - This emerging leaders program is held for 8 weeks in the Spring Semester. It is primarily geared toward freshman and sophomore students who are interested in becoming student leaders in clubs and organizations on campus. Broad topics such as Diversity and Teambuilding.

Art of Leadership - This experienced leaders program is held once a month for the entire year. It is primarily geared toward juniors and seniors. Advanced leadership topics are discussed such as Ethics, Leadership Styles, and Gender and Leadership. Second semester sessions focus more on preparing student leaders for a career and includes topics such as Networking, Resume Critiquing, and Interviewing Skills.
