Liberty’s club offerings continue to grow to match students’ passions, hobbies, and career goals

With the wide selection of 150 student clubs offered at Liberty University through the Student Government Association (SGA), there are many ways for students to enrich their time on campus, spend time with peers who share similar interests, and even develop industry-specific skills.

“SGA Clubs give students an outlet to share their gifts and talents, and they connect students with similar interests, hobbies, and cultures,” SGA Director Kathy Shult said. “Our clubs build friendships and create memories that will last a lifetime.”

The SGA acts as the support system for all university clubs, processing around 10-20 new club applications each semester. On Friday, the SGA held an All Clubs Fair on the Academic Lawn, giving students the chance to talk with members and join.

Liberty offers many recreational clubs — from table tennis to fencing, SCUBA, gardening, gaming, chess, and a general Outdoor Recreation Club — as well as clubs that allow students to advocate for causes and bond over shared experiences, like the American Sign Language (ASL) Club, the Young Americans for Freedom, and the Epilepsy Rise Up Club.

Multiple clubs build on students’ academic pursuits, with options for almost every discipline at Liberty. Students can integrate their chosen vocation into an extracurricular activity through the Cyber Defense Club, Criminal Justice Club, or the Accounting Society.

“The Accounting Society provides students with the opportunity to cultivate networking skills, mature in their professional development, serve their community well, and engage with both faculty and external accounting professionals,” said Senior Emily Motz, president of the Accounting Society.

Some clubs are part of national associations and provide networking opportunities, such as the Professional Association of Christian Educators (PACE), Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), and the Pre-Physical Therapy Club.

For students seeking service opportunities, they can join the Habitat for Humanity or Red Cross Service Clubs. The Cure U Club seeks to help families of hospitalized and underprivileged children.

Students can feed their creativity in the Writing Club, Poetic Soul Club, or Improv Comedy Team. Those interested in entertainment may find a home in Liberty’s Japanese Culture and Anime Club or the Disney Club.

Clubs like Campus Outreach or Ratio Christi (Apologetics Club) emphasize spiritual growth and outreach.

“The clubs here at Liberty University are an amazing way to connect with other students that have the same interests and goals as you,” SGA Director of Clubs Ava Weston said. “They are also an amazing way to network and connect with people in your desired career path. Whether you’re looking for a fun and chill club or a more career-driven club, we have them all.”
