Clubs and Organizations
Participating in clubs and other extracurricular activities is a great way to meet new people, network, socialize, and complement your coursework. Berkeley College offers students the opportunity to get involved at each campus and across the system. We strongly encourage students to participate in activities, as campus life is an important component of the Berkeley experience. Research has shown that clubs have a positive impact on students’ educational journeys. Through involvement, students gain a strong sense of purpose, community, and achievement.
Diversity and Multicultural Activities
The diversity of the student body contributes to the cultural enrichment of the College community. Many ethnic and multicultural events are planned to promote understanding of the similarities and differences among cultures.
Community Service
Giving back has long been part of the Berkeley tradition. Through BerkeleyCares, community service opportunities abound, allowing all students, administrators, faculty, and staff to work with charitable organizations and participate in local activities that benefit the greater community.
Athletics and Recreation
Various athletic programs and recreational activities offer students a great way to increase their activity, as well as develop leadership, sportsmanship, and interpersonal skills through intercollegiate, intramural, and club activities. https://www.berkeleycollegeknights.com/landing/index

Student Government Association (SGA) Ambassadors
The SGA Ambassadors focus on creating a solid foundation for the College by addressing topics such as leadership, Diversity and Inclusion, community service and strategic planning. Collectively, all Ambassadors work together to achieve goals and address all student needs in the areas of governance, programming, and advocacy. Ambassadors develop ways to get student feedback and work on putting it into action. The SGA Ambassadors can make connections inside and outside of the Berkeley College community through leadership opportunities and networking.
Honor Societies
High academic achievers may be invited into a variety of academic and leadership honor societies in recognition of their accomplishments.
