Getting Involved
The barriers to engaging with the clubs you’re interested might seem intense - but we’re here to help make the process as easy as possible. Looking for ways to get involved? Here are a few options:
We’re here to help you find a community in one of our 200+ recognized student organizations. The Student Government Association (SGA) works to ensure our student organizations receive support and funding for programming, operations, and leadership development - allowing students to explore their interests while obtaining valuable career skills in the process.
Over 80% of UVM students are involved in at least one club or organization - and with about 200 SGA recognized clubs, we're sure to have at least one that'll help you expand your intellectual and social spheres.

ActivitiesFest is UVM's annual club fair, where Student Government Assocation-recognized student organizations (RSOs) gather to promote their offerings to the student body. This event is a great opportunity to chat with club members to learn more about your opportunities for engagement.
Are you a new student looking to join one (or more) of SGA’s 200+ student organizations? As part of your orientation experience, you will have early access to meeting representatives from the various RSOs on Saturday, August 27 from 3:15 – 6:30 PM at the various Central Campus Greens.
Are you a new student that did not get to see all the groups you were interested in during orientation? Are you a returning student finding new opportunities to get involved? Week of Welcome ActivitiesFest is another opportunity for you to join one (or more) of UVM’s 200+ student organizations. You can meet representatives from the various organizations between 11 AM – 2 PM at the Andrew Harris Commons (outside of the Davis Center). We will be featuring the following types of organizations on the following days:
ActivitiesFest is open to ALL students!
Our club database, UVM Clubs, features a complete listing of all our SGA-recognized Clubs and Organizations - including information on each specific club, club contacts, applications, forms, and more. All UVM undergraduate students have access to UVM Clubs by signing in with their UVM netid and password.
Administered by the Department of Student Life, this survey helps new students identify the organizations that pertain to their specific interests. This aids us in connecting clubs with interested students, assisting them with getting involved during their first semester at UVM.
This survey is often completed during orientation - but can be taken anytime online prior to the start of their first semester. Responses are shared with clubs at two points during the year - at the start of the fall and spring semesters.

Stop by our office in the Davis Center during business hours and say ‘Hi’. There's plenty of space for you to meet with your Student Government representatives, and our front desk staff are more than happy to try and help connect with you in-person.
