Students can engage in various activities on and off campus
The University of Rio Grande offers a variety of opportunities for students to be involved in campus life. Numerous activities that are recreational, educational, and cultural are offered throughout the academic year to accommodate the diverse interests of our students. Past events have included ski and hiking trips, concerts, coffeehouse acts, comedians, out-door carnival attractions, simulators, dances, fundraisers, professional hockey games, and NFL games. Student interests are the driving force behind planning campus activities. The Student Planning Board is comprised of student leaders interested in enhancing the college experience and is responsible for planning most campus events. The group is open to all interested students.
I Love It Here!
The Student Activities Office serves as a resource for all campus organizations. Campus organizations are expected to host two campus-wide events per year and may receive funding from the Student Activities Office for the cost of campus-wide events. Each organization is encouraged to participate in the Student Planning Board. It is a goal of the Student Activities Department to recognize and reward all students taking initiative as student leaders.
