CHSS Student Organizations

SSWA Fundraiser

Our students are not only active academically but socially. CHSS students are involved in a variety of student organizations. Our students work closley with faculty, staff and administration to reach out to fellow students and the community.

CHSS student organizations offer a wealth of opportunities for you to meet new people, help the community, and create life-long friendships. The support of your fellow students and the support you offer in return is invaluable. Get involved and join a CHSS student organization today!
