Influence of student organizations

This morning I read an article in the Washington Post about the potential influence the American Constitution Society may have on the new administration. This is just one more example of the networking possibilities student organizations give students. If you find you have some extra time (yeah, right), you may consider joining at least one student organization. If you have a certain passion, then match that passion with an organization. If you are looking for a broader experience, look for an organization that has a national presence that will give you networking and fellowship opportunities well beyond the school or the local community. You may also consider taking on a leadership role in an organization in which you are already a member. In the end, if you decide to join a student organization, choose one in which you will have fun and get the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way.
