Clubs & Organizations

Getting involved

Joining a student organization is a great way to make friends and get to know your professors – and it helps you build a support network, find study groups and become a more successful student. SFA is home to more than 200 student clubs and organizations, so no matter what you’re into, you’ll find a club where you’ll feel right at home.

For more information about English clubs and organizations, you can contact your faculty advisor or to find the best fit for your interests.
