Sports Clubs offer students the opportunity to join and play their favorite activities with peers on both TUJ and SWU grounds.
Student organizations—created and run by students—are overseen by Student Engagement which is housed within the Office of Student Services and Engagement (OSSE).
*Please keep in mind clubs may choose to be inactive during certain semesters. If your favorite club is marked inactive this semester, check again on the following semester and they may be active then, or reach out to the club leaders directly to follow up on the status of the club!
