Get Involved! Student Clubs & Organizations

Hamilton has a vibrant campus life filled with opportunities to engage beyond the classroom. The Student Activities Office is dedicated to ensuring a positive and enriching experience through involvement in over 140 clubs and organizations on campus. These groups host numerous meetings and events, offering a fantastic way for students to meet peers, explore new interests, and have fun.
Engagement can take many forms, and students can choose how they want to participate at different levels. We encourage students to explore all levels of participation, as each can shape their Hamilton experience uniquely. Students might start by attending events to see what interests them, then move on to joining a club or organization for deeper involvement. For those eager to take on leadership roles, ample opportunities exist to lead events and initiatives. Hamilton has many events organized by student groups and departments, making it easy to get involved. Attending an event, whether related to an interest from high school or a new passion, is a great first step. This way, students can discover the vibrant activities happening on The Hill.
For students with specific passions, joining one of our many clubs and organizations allows them to get more involved, host events, and showcase the club's unique offerings to the Hamilton community. For those who are enthusiastic and ready to take on leadership roles, there are plentiful opportunities to do so. Each student's path to involvement will look different, and that's perfectly okay. The Student Activities Office is here to help students find their sense of belonging through extracurricular activities.
Our office hosts various events throughout the academic year. Our Sadove Programming team organizes smaller-scale DIY, grab-and-go events during the weekdays and larger events on weekends. The Late Nite program provides a consistent, social, and substance-free option throughout the semester, while the After Dark series offers captivating and grand events that are creative and unique. (Follow us on Instagram @hamiltonsadove to stay updated on upcoming events.)
While engaging in campus life is important, we also emphasize the need for balance. Attending classes, getting adequate rest, and taking time for self-care are essential for a successful college experience.
