Welcome to Louisiana Tech University!!! The Office of Student Activities, within the Division of Student Affairs, would be proud to have you as a student, and we look forward to serving you by offering ample opportunities for involvement.

Louisiana Tech University provides a variety of organizations to meet the various and diverse needs of our student population. With over 130 different clubs and organizations to join, one can be assured of finding something of interest. For example, service, governing, professional, and religious/ special interest groups, to name a few exist both on and off campus to provide students with opportunities for growth and development outside of the classroom setting.

The Student Government Association offers students the possibility of getting involved in politics and government, which provides one with necessary experiences for possible future employment. Circle K is another such club that exists on campus. This club gives students numerous chances to reach out to the community in a helpful, service-oriented perspective. And if one is inclined to get involved in direct service opportunities with students on campus, the Student Mentors offers a tremendous opportunity for personal growth and development. Of course, these clubs are just a few of the many available to students in these areas.

From a professional perspective, Tech can be proud of what it offers to the students. For instance, there are a number of engineering organizations that allow professional affiliation to our students, such as the Biomedical Engineering Society, the Louisiana Tech Engineers’ Association, and the Institute of Industrial Engineers, to name a few. Of course, we have numerous other professional organizations for one to join, too. Some of those include the Business Students Association, Accounting Society, Louisiana Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, the Tech 4-H Club, ant the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association.

In the areas of special interest/ religious affiliations, Tech has much to be excited about. The International Student Association and the Muslim Student Association work diligently to educate the university of their culture and surroundings, which many may be unaware of. Also, KLPI -our campus radio station- and the Union Board -our campus entertainment organization- are two other special interest organizations that allow students to gain useful knowledge and useful experience for the future. In the area of religious clubs, Tech boasts groups form all religious denominations and affiliations. The Association of Baptist Students, Association of Catholic Students, Canterbury Association, Apostolic Ministries, Wesley Foundation, and the Fellowship are just a few of the many religious organizations on campus that exist.

Involvement in extracurricular organizations and clubs is critical to the overall education of Tech students. One can truly benefit by getting involved and taking part in the various areas of student organizations of Louisiana Tech University's campus.
