Clubs & Activities

There are more than 100 student clubs and organizations on campus. Some focus on academic disciplines. Others focus on identity, culture, and politics. And with intramural and club sports, plus our 13 music and dance ensembles, students have an outlet for the athletic and creative energy that characterize Knox. The one quality that binds our clubs and organizations together is that they are all student-driven. Students create and run organizations in response to student interests and student needs.

Check out a list of all of the student clubs and organizations on our webpage: http://www.knox.edu/student-life/organizations-and-clubs.html. If you have questions about any of them, just ask!
