These clubs are student run and are assisted by the ALANA and International Student Programs and Services Coordinator. Club membership is open to all students and everyone is encouraged and invited to participate in events and meetings held throughout the year.

African American Studies Club: Established in the Spring of 1993, this organization strives to give African-Americans and others a better understanding of each other, a sense of belonging and a coordinated voice on campus. The group provides an opportunity to learn together, exchange views and ideas and develop an appreciation of African-American history.

Asian club: Provides the college community with a resource to learn about the Asian cultures. Members will be provided with an experience that will help develop their leadership qualities and other attributes that will be beneficial to themselves, the club and the college community at large.

Latin American Society: The Latin American Society provides a social and educational setting for students interested in Latin American cultures and expending their knowledge to promote diversity through education. Membership is open to all students.

Multicultural Student Society: This organization strives to provide an opportunity for students to enhance their cultural experience while sharing their own ideas and cultural heritage with others. Some of the goals are to help to develop academic and social programs that intensify cultural awareness in our campus community and to actively recruit interested students and faculty.
