Clubs and organizations in science

Get involved!

Connect with students with similar interests by joining a Penn State student organization.

Student organizations help you meet other students in the college, and, among their benefits, they also provide leadership and service opportunities. There are organizations directly related to the majors in the college, but there are a large variety of other groups that allow you to branch out and expand your Penn State experience beyond your current academic program.
