Student Organizations

Getting involved with student organizations provides students with the opportunity to gain leadership experience, explore new interests and career paths, network with faculty, staff, and peers; and serve both NEOMED and the surrounding communities.   There are more than 90 student organizations at NEOMED, so there is something for everyone!

The Office of Student Services maintains a list of active student organizations and community service opportunities in CampusGroups.  They also provide resources for student organizations. If you are interested in starting a new student organization, please contact the Office of Student Services.  They will be able to go over the requirements and registration process with you.
