Clubs & Groups
Where to start? There are so many ways to be involved at Innis: pick a club, group, or organization that speaks to your interests and/or goals — from governance to leadership to wellness.
While they’re all different in the areas they cover, they’re also identical in one important way: all offer a built-in community, a sense of belonging, and the perfect way to build friendships.
