Student Clubs at Sandburg

If you attend Carl Sandburg College but have not yet joined any student clubs, groups or social activities aside from your classes…this is me telling you it’s a smart idea! I believe that the more you involve yourself in groups and clubs, the more you will enjoy your time at Sandburg. It’s important to put yourself out there, be outgoing and meet new people. It’s a part of college!

As a freshman at Sandburg, walking around the campus I didn’t know many faces. Once I started to participate in activities and have my handful of friends on campus introduce me to new people, I felt better about attending Sandburg. It felt like I had a place I belonged. It’s a nice feeling to see familiar faces walking down a hallway or on your way to meet your new friends.

One group that I participate in is called Ignite. The group Ignite is more of a small community of people where you are able to connect and grow in your walk with Christ, regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey. Whether you’ve never picked up a Bible or are a biblical expert, there is something for you. The meetings that you can attend are very laid back. They include some awesome students and faculties members, usually some sort of food and beverages, and one or two short messages that relate to us as students and youth. If you’re interested, stop on by! Ignite usually meets on Mondays from 12:15 – 1 p.m. in the Student Center by the Bookstore.

Another group that meets on Mondays at 4 p.m. in the Fine Arts Theatre is the Drama Club. I recently attended my first meeting and believe I will be attending many more in the future. The meeting started off by going over what was mentioned in the previous gathering. As of right now the club has assigned a new president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, along with students that will represent the club in any school events. We also discussed and picked a date for the talent show this year, went over some of the community service options and went over the film festival coming up this Friday night. Now if you’re thinking that you have to be an actor or actress to be a part of Drama Club, you’re wrong! There is no pressure to start acting in any of Sandburg’s productions. There is so much to do behind the scenes or to just help out and become a part of an organization.

There are many other clubs, groups or activities that I have not mentioned, but if you’re interested in joining one of these two groups let me know! We’d love for you to share the experiences.

Sincerely,
Rachel
