Campus Life

A variety of programs and service create the vibrant campus experience here at Immaculata University (IU). Students are involved in creating their university experience by becoming affiliated with a club or organization, an athletic team, through campus ministry and a variety of other campus leadership opportunities. The out-of-class experience is important and students are encouraged to get involved. Here is what Immaculatan’s are saying about their IU experience.

My IU experience has meant so much to me because it has helped me grow as a person. I feel that I can be in the real world right now and that I can handle anything. Immaculata University has challenged me and believed in me. I feel welcomed and appreciated. Staff and faculty honor and recognize my work, which means a lot to me. As an RA and an ELP member I learned how to become more independent, flexible, outgoing, how to deal with different situations and how to make smart decisions.

My words of advice to get involved at Immaculata University are: ask questions, if there is something you are interested in and it is not offered, create it! Read your emails. Socialize and meet as many people as possible. Stay more on campus. Challenge yourself, and finally, enjoy what you do.

My experience here at Immaculata University has been a great one and I would not trade for anything. Immaculata allowed me to grow as a leader by offering me so many opportunities to get involved and take charge. This past year I was honored to be voted in as the President of the Student Association of Immaculata University, our form of student government. This position allowed me to hold one the highest offices a student can hold on campus. With this new responsibility to the student body I developed, with the assistance of my fellow SAIU officers, a new constitution for our organization. The new SAIU is focused on being a student government that advocates issues on behalf of student body. This leadership opportunity along with my position as a Resident Assistant have taught me great deal about leadership and how to work with others to get goals accomplished. I will miss Immaculata, but I am certain that it has prepared me for anything I might face in the future.

My advice is simple, get involved. The students here at Immaculata University are very friendly and are always looking for more people to be involved. If you have never been a person to get involved try to find at least one club or organization that best fits you. It will enhance your experience tenfold.
