iSchool Student Groups
Becoming a part of the professional community is an important aspect of professional education. We encourage students to get involved in the student chapters of professional associations and student groups at the iSchool. It’s a great way to meet peers, gain experience for resume building, and network. Many of the student groups host meetings, guest speakers, and other events.
Be sure to participate in the welcome activities organized by the student groups during your iSchool Orientation. It’s a great way to learn about the different groups and see which one(s) you may be interested in joining.
Find out more about the different student groups by watching the video below, or scrolling down to read additional information about each of the groups.
