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 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.

My experience at Immaculata has been exceptional; from all the friends I have made to the academic programs I have been through, I would not want to be anywhere else. I never really got involved in things in high school, but upon entering IU I found that by getting involved I could make great connections with other students, faculty and administration which will absolutely benefit my future. Without the experience I have gained at IU and the people I have met and became close with I could not be the person I am today. I am glad I came to Immaculata and would not trade it for anything in the world.

There are many reasons to love Immaculata, any incoming students should pursue their interest immediately so that they can build the connections and gain the experience to change their life. In addition to all the campus activity and organizations that it is so easy to get involved with, the university has put so much support into the services and resources for students on campus and for their future. It is always important to take advantage of campus resources such as the library, computers, tutoring, Math Center and Writing Center, but also be sure to check out the programs available from the different academic departments, career services, athletics, campus ministry, and all other areas.
