Clubs and Organizations
With more than 25 clubs and organizations, Cottey has a wide range of activities. Whether your interests are academic in nature, or lean toward cultural pursuits, social activism, service activities, religion, or general recreation, you’re sure to find something that fits.
Most organizations are open to all students, but a few base membership on standards of achievement. Honor organizations, for example, have academic requirements for membership.
If you can’t find a club you like at Cottey, we support students who want to start their own! We do require approval from the Vice President of Student Life, but Cottey loves when students take the initiative and express themselves.
