Student Activities

The Department of Student Activities knows that the first priority of students is to be successful academically. However, there is much more to college life than classes, homework, exams and grades. There are student organizations, clubs, traditions, athletic events and much more.

Involvement in one or more of the University's 750 plus organizations can add an important dimension to one's college experience. It is a way to balance one's life, meet new people and develop interpersonal and leadership skills. In addition, prospective employers often look at what students have accomplished and experienced outside of their course work. For all these reasons, Student Activities supports the belief that students can learn from experiences as well as from textbooks.

The Department of Student Activities, Room 125, Koldus Building, (979) 845-1133, provides direct advisement to Student Government, COSGA, Fish Camp, Howdy Camp, T-Camp and the student radio station KANM, among others. Student Activities is committed to providing Texas A&M students with the best possible "other education" through programs and services that meet the needs of all students. The Student Activities website is located at studentactivities.tamu.edu.

Leadership Programs

The Department of Student Activities offers a wide variety of leadership development programs that provide an excellent opportunity for students to develop student organization management and effective decision-making and leadership skills. Programmatic efforts include specialized training sessions, seminars, workshops and peer leadership presentations. Those currently offered include: Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People Workshop Series; Emerging Leaders Retreat; and Four Roles of Leadership.

The All-University Calendar

The Texas A&M University All-University Calendar is an official calendar of University-wide events and may be used as a personal scheduling book. The calendars go on sale mid-summer in the Memorial Student Center Bookstore. The Department of Student Activities also publishes semester calendars that provide a listing of student organization activities as well as University-wide events. These calendars are distributed at the beginning of each fall and spring semester at key campus locations and are available on the web at studentactivities.tamu.edu/calendar.
