Clubs & Organizations
Get Involved at EICC
There is so much to do outside of class. Join EICC student clubs and organizations. Sharpen your teamwork and leadership skills. Organize and host an event. Give a speech and support your classmates. Meet local employers and work on cool projects. Or just meet for some conversation and laughs.
This is how you build memories and lifelong friendships. This is how you learn more about the world, yourself, and what comes next.
And, it looks great on a resume.
