Joining Clubs, Sports, & Organizations

Ashland University offers many different clubs and/or organizations to get involved with. Being proactive in a club can bring you many things such as: friendships, networking opportunities, staying active and in shape, and representing Ashland with good school pride.

Sports: Ashland offers 24 Division 2 varsity athletics competing in the NCAA. Our most recent adds to the list include E-sports (2018) and STUNT (2020). Ashland University’s athletic programs are known throughout the country. Over the years the eagles have made history for eagle nation and we are home to several nationally ranked teams. These teams including the men’s indoor and outdoor track and field, women’s basketball, women’s soccer, wrestling, and many more. Even if you aren’t an athlete, just going out and supporting our teams with your friends is another way to meet new people and socialize while cheering on our AU Eagles!

Clubs & Organizations: There are many offered organizations on campus to get involved with. There are the broad titles of organizations, such as: Academic & Professional, Diversity & Inclusion, Fraternities & Sororities, Faith & Religion, Honoraries, Media, Performance, Programming, Service & Volunteerism, Special Interests, Sports Clubs, and Student Government, and many more. These are all types of different organizations here at AU, but those dive deeper into separate clubs offered from those organizations. There are so many opportunities to get active on campus.

I can say, from personal experience, getting involved is life changing. I am currently on the cheerleading and STUNT teams (yes, I am a very busy student athlete), I am a member of PRSSA ( Public Relations Student Society of America), a member of the Sport Communication club, a huddle leader at FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), I assist in leading a bible study for our cheer team, I am a tour guide, and I am also an academic assistant. It has been quite an amazing experience at Ashland so far, whether that be meeting new people or just gaining new experiences.


There are many different ways to get involved around campus and meet new people! So get up, get out there, and be proud to be an eagle.
