21. Student organizations are a key part of the
collegiate experience. Involved students are
more likely to persist toward graduation, are
more satisfied with their time in college, and
develop leadership and life skills that
complement their classroom knowledge. Being
involved in campus organizations also benefits
students as employers look to hire those who
have demonstrated leadership, commitment,
and excellence both inside and outside of the
classroom.
