Student Activities

Penn State Wilkes-Barre's clubs and organizations provide opportunities for students to participate in a variety of co- and extra-curricular events. They also provide leadership opportunies for students as club and organization executive board members, campus and community service volunteers, and program coordinators of student run events.  See the current list below, with links to their websites (where available).

To start a new club, meet with Jackie Warnick-Piatt – it’s fun and rewarding. Clubs and organizations are governed by university and campus policies and rules. For more information on university policies, see http://www.sa.psu.edu/organizationrules/.  For campus specific policies, see the Student Government Association Constitution and documents available in the Student Activities Office, C-129 or online at www.wbsga.psu.edu. 

Community Service

All members of Student Government Association and all sponsored clubs and organizations are required to perform both on-campus and community service projects. Our volunteers contribute hundreds of hours each academic year to worthy projects. Examples of such projects include Bowl for Kids Sake, American Red Cross Blood Drives, Glove-Hat-Sock Drives, preparing meals at St. Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen, Pet Food Drives, Toys For Tots, and Penn State’s own THON*.

(* THON is a 48-hour Dance Marathon to raise $$$’s for the Four Diamonds Fund at the Hershey Medical Center.)
