Clubs and organizations are another aspect of student life at Wayne College. Students may choose to join professional clubs that focus on their prospective career or social clubs that give them the opportunity to meet new people and become more involved on campus. While enjoyable and beneficial to most students, clubs and organizations are a voluntary part of the college experience.
Visit all of our clubs online via the new RooConnect Portal
