Student Groups
The possibilities are endless!
We recognize that Student Organizations, Honor Socieities and Performance Groups provide a valuable service to the Hastings College community by providing leadership development, spirit, activism, public service and social and cultural interaction. As a student at Hastings, you have the unique opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities.
Types of Student Groups
There are three types of student groups at Hastings College.
🎉
Student Organizations
Student Organizations are student-led and sponsored groups. They are formed by students currently enrolled at Hastings College who share a common interest or goal.
They must have at least 5 members to charter on campus, abide by all Hastings College policies, meet at least once a month in person or virtually, have a full-time faculty or staff advisor and have an updated registration filed each year.
Examples Include: Black Student Union, Bronco Catholics, Collegian Student Journalism
📚
Honor Societies
Honor Societies are student groups that are centered within an academic department or program. These groups are led by students and often sponsored by faculty members.
They typically have an international or national governing organization, an associated grade-point average, and an invitation process for membership. Honor Societies must follow the same guidelines to maintain recognized status.
Examples Include: Alpha Chi, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Psi Ci, Tri-Beta
🏅
Performance Groups
Performance Groups are official intercollegiate sport teams and musical groups recognized by Hastings College and run by their respective departments and programs.
They offer countless opportunities for you to use your talents and skills to make an impact with the help of our dedicated faculty and staff. Some groups are open to all students with no audition, others have specific requirements to join.
Examples Include: Marching Bronco Band, Women's Wrestling, Esports
