Clubs and Organizations at Averett University
Joining a Club or Organization on campus is a great way to get involved, find a group of students who are like-minded, and make an impact in your community. But, of course, they also look great on a resume!
The Student Involvement team hosts a Student Involvement Fair at the beginning of each semester for all active clubs and organizations to promote their mission and for new students to get involved.
Want to start your own club? It’s easy! Just submit this form through the Student Involvement office. All active clubs and organizations need at least five members (current Averett students), a faculty or staff advisor, and a mission or purpose statement.
Have questions? Contact [email protected] or call the Student Involvement office at 434-791-5628. Also, follow us on Instagram @averettstudentengagement to see upcoming events on campus.
