WHY IS INVOLVEMENT IMPORTANT?

Research tells us when students are involved in at least one co-curricular

activity, they . . .

• Receive better grades.

• Are more successful in their academic program.

• Are more likely to stay in school and graduate on time.

• Feel more satisfied with the college experience.

• Are more marketable for internships, jobs, and graduate programs.

• Develop valuable leadership and interpersonal skills.
