Student Activities

Participation in organizations, activities, and events adds an important dimension to the college experience. In addition to making friends, students have the opportunity to develop leadership skills that are important for their future. The Office of Student Activities recognizes more than 100 student organizations. These organizations represent academic departments, honor societies, Greek fraternities and sororities and variety of special interest groups.

Our mission is to provide activities and programs that meet the social, cultural, recreational, and intellectual needs of Tarleton State University students. In collaboration with other departments, student organizations, and the surrounding community, the Office of Student Activities designs activities to enhance student learning and complement the total educational experience.

The Student Programming Association is one of the organizations advised by Student Activities. SPA is the main programming board on campus, offering students the opportunity to plan and implement activities (concerts, movies, speakers and service projects) for the Tarleton campus and local community.

In addition to SPA and student organizations, the Office of Student Activities is responsible for all university orientation programs and various social programs designed to meet the needs of a culturally diverse student body.
