Finding The Club For You!

Joining clubs at Purdue is one of the best tips of advice I can give to incoming freshman and undergraduates in college. Not only is it a great way to make new friends and stay busy, but it also allows for networking that can help you in your future career. My overall recommendation for new students would be to join a club that relates to your major to ensure you get those networking opportunities and a club you just particularly enjoy as a hobby. It’s all about finding the right club that suits you. If you join a club and decide it’s not for you don’t be discouraged because there are plenty more out there for you to explore. 

Personally, for me Agronomy Club has been an amazing experience. Not only has it offered me the opportunity to acquire leadership skills, learn from experienced agronomists, and to stay active in school. It has also led me to meet some pretty great people I will most likely be keeping in touch with even after moving on from Purdue. Helping with community service, having work sessions, listening to guest speakers, and having relaxed meetings with games and activates are a few of the things I’ve gotten to experience in my past 2 years with Agronomy Club. So don’t forget to get out there and find the club for you!
