Campus life goes far beyond the kitchens and classrooms; your next passion might be waiting for you here! Whether you are looking to learn new skills, connect with those who share your interests, or try something new, CIA student clubs offer something for everyone.
There are countless ways to get involved beyond academics. CIA offers hands-on clubs such as Outdoor Club, The Bacchus Wine Society, and Gardening Club. Or make a difference and provide meaningful support with clubs like Active Minds, Sexual Alliance and Gender Awareness Club, and The Feminist Society Club. Clubs like SPICE, Photo Dojo, and The Tabletop Gaming Club are creative and social spaces to get involved in.
Unsure of what you want to be a part of? CIA holds Club Con once a semester. This is an event for each club to showcase what they are all about. Students get the opportunity to meet and chat with all the different clubs we currently offer and learn about how they can get involved. Who knows, you might find exactly what you’re looking for.
Joining a club is more than just attending a meeting–it’s about finding where you belong, building friendships, creating memories that will last far beyond your time at CIA. Your first semester here at CIA can feel intimidating, and trying something new always takes courage, you’re not alone. There is a place for you here.
