How to Get Involved with Clubs and Organizations on Campus

Ready to enhance your experience at Sheridan College?

What better way than to get involved with your campus clubs, and jump into new experiences and leadership opportunities? While we understand that school comes first, it's just as important to find ways to unwind and cope with the vigorous hours of studies. Why not join in with other students who have similar passions and find opportunities to meet students and network with employers? Get ready to explore your campus clubs and find a safe space to be your creative self! Besides, who doesn’t want to step away from the books every once in a while?

First, you will need your Sheridan username and password to create an account on the Clubs Corner platform: https://sheridancollege.campuslabs.ca/engage/.

Once you have your user account set up, you can then begin your exploration of clubs that interest you.

The “Organizations” tab will display all the clubs and organizations that are active at all three campuses. Feel free to read the description, upcoming events, and view photos on each of the individual clubs' pages to get a feel for what they have to offer. You also have the opportunity to connect with the Club President directly by clicking on the “Contact” button.

Overall, Clubs Corner will provide you with the opportunity to make new friends, step out of your comfort zone, and unwind from books.  So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and dive into the endless possibilities a club can bring to your life personally and professionally. From hackathons and leadership conferences, to Fortnite battles and pub nights, clubs deliver it all!

Now you may be thinking, “what types of clubs does the Sheridan Student Union offer”? Well, there are many clubs on campus that range from academic to social clubs. There’s so much diversity with the types of clubs being offered, as we strive to create safe spaces where students can feel included.

Academic clubs provide a way for students to become more involved in their program and are operated with the help of a faculty advisor. Academic clubs help students collaborate with other students and alumni who have already gained industry experience. Some examples would be:

  • Accounting Students Association for students in the Accounting program

  • The Paralegal Club for students who are studying law

  • The Udesign Club for students in Arts of Design programs.

Social clubs are based on a particular area of interest and passion. Social Clubs are available to all students who want to be surrounded by peers with similar interests. These clubs are great because they are open for everyone to join in and participate - compared to academic clubs, in which you must be studying under that faculty. Some examples of social clubs include:

  • Toastmasters

  • The Mooting Club

  • Face IT Club

These clubs are a few examples for you to see the diverse clubs our student community has built to enhance your #SheridanLife. We hope to see you on board and involved with your Sheridan community! 

Having trouble finding a club and organization that suits your interests? Why not create your own? 

In order to create your own organization, head to Clubs Corner and log-in with your Sheridan username and password. Then, click on the “Organizations” tab along the top of the screen, which will bring you to the list of existing clubs and organizations.

On the left side of the screen, underneath the categories filter, you should see a button that says, “Register an Organization”. This will bring you to the registration page. Since you will be starting up a new club, press on the “Register a new organization” button, follow the on-screen instructions, and submit the form when you are ready.

It is that easy to create your own club or organization! Once your organization has been fully approved, you will able to host virtual meetings and events, create amazing promotion with the help of the marketing team, and so much more!

If you have any questions about clubs and organizations, please email your campus clubs coordinator and they will happily assist you!
