Student Clubs and Organizations

Student groups play an active role in supporting social and academic life on campus.

Student groups are responsible for creating, planning, and scheduling events which incorporate cultural, intellectual, and/or spiritual elements, and that engage students in extracurricular activities on campus. These activities support the College's academic programming, while also encouraging students to become involved with their peers in socially entertaining and sometimes interactive endeavors.

York College has over forty student clubs and organizations which organize a wide variety of events, including discussions about current issues, networking mixers, graduate seminar, cultural/ethnic celebrations, and talent and fashion shows. In this way, student groups like the Golden Standard Accounting Club, Aviation Club, Muslim Student Association, African Students Association, the Helping Hands Club, and the International Student Society, add to the culture of the college.
