CHHS Student Organizations

---

For students looking to be involved outside the classroom, CHHS offers more than twenty student organizations and clubs.  Regardless of a student’s major, there is a club or organization to fit every interest and need. Being involved with a student organization gives students the opportunity to network with peers in their major, opportunities for scholarships and internships, and experience working with others in a group setting.

In addition to the clubs and organizations listed below, student representatives from each group are members of the Dean’s Student Advisory Council and meet with the Dean on a quarterly basis to help with strategic planning in the college. Also available to CHHS students, exemplary students may apply to be an ambassador for CHHS. Ambassadors are an essential part of CHHS and assist with recruitment and retention.
