Clubs & Organizations
Widener— where fun, learning, and service come together.
Having fun, becoming a leader, and making a difference are what Widener's clubs and organizations are all about. Choose from over 85 clubs and organizations — everything from sports to student government to dance to foreign languages, animé, and other interests.
We've also got an amazing line-up of campus events. But clubs are about more than making friends and having fun. Studies show that the more involved you are in campus life, the more likely you are to earn good grades and graduate on time. The more you do, the more you get done.
