Student Life

Campus Activities

The Office of Campus Activities promotes student development by involving students on social and educational programs, campus events, orientation, and other leadership opportunities. The Department oversees a wide range of clubs and organizations designed to bring together students with similar likes and talents, inspiring campus discourse and promoting campus unity. It also oversees major campus programming, such as the Distinguished Lecturer Series, Family Weekend, and the Spring Formal.

For Newbury students, leadership opportunities abound. Students can further develop leadership skills by becoming Orientation Leaders, participating in the Student Government Association, leading a student organization or participating in the Leadership Institution program that runs each spring.

The Office of Campus Activities also oversees the Campus Activities Centre. This busy office centre offers students in student organizations a meeting place, computer use, decorating supplies, a library of event planning information, and a place simply to «hang out» with classmates. Student organizations can take advantage of the Centre's resources to further strengthen and develop their group's efforts.

All students are encouraged to get involved in campus life at Newbury College. Whether it is running for Student Government, joining the Innkeepers Club, or working on the Campus Activities Board. Newbury offers divers opportunities for students to get involved in life outside the classroom and continue their learning in the world around them.
