Section 6: Student Organizations

 

Introduction

Students bring to the University a variety of interests and experiences previously acquired and develop many new interests as members of the University community. Involvement in extracurricular activities provides skills essential to the educational development of students; thus the University supports and encourages involvement in student organizations as part of the total educational experience. Over 275 student organizations exist at UND offering a wide variety of experiences.

Because the University so firmly believes in the educational benefits of organizational involvement, it provides facilities and professional staff expertise to enhance the experience of the students involved in campus organizations. Student organization members are encouraged to call upon staff for assistance in leadership development, forming an organization, membership recruitment, retention of members, conflict resolution, program planning, responsible use of alcohol, and any other assistance they might need.

The University provides support to each established student organization regardless of the nature of its activity and ideology. The University does not necessarily endorse any particular philosophy or activity. Organizations are independent units which exist on the UND campus and are not considered agents of the University.
