students have many potential ways to build community through student organizations, academic activities, recreational programs, volunteering and campus events. Instead of trying to participate in everything, students can select a few activities that match their interests and fit realistically into their schedules. Regular atten
is particularly valuable because it gives students repeated opportunities to see the same people and develop friendships nat
lly. Students can also use academic departments and campus organizations to find groups connected to their major, hobbies or professional interests.
