Student Activities and Student Organizations

Involvement in campus organizations can be both a rewarding and an educational experience. The role of the Office of Student Activities staff is to serve as the primary resource personnel, and educators, in the areas of organizational development and the personal growth of students involved in the university's clubs and organizations. Throughout the year, the Office of Student Activities disseminates budget information, coordinates workshops and informal sessions on organizational development and leadership topics such as publicity and promotion, time management, motivation, and assessing appropriate leadership styles.   In addition, student activities coordinates Black History Month, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday Celebration, Annual Awards Banquet, workshops, dances, pool parties, entertainment, trips, WSSU Mr. Ram Pageant, and other special events.  The Office of Student Activities (OSA) is assisted by the Campus Activities Board (CAB), which consists of student members who serve as the liaison to the student body. CAB promotes planned programs, serves on campus committees and helps fulfill the mission of OSA.  Organizations are expected and encouraged to make their needs known so that assistance can be made available. 

There are over 95 student organizations at Winston-Salem State University.  In addition, students may participate in intercollegiate and intramural athletics, music groups, departmental student groups, secret societies, and university committees. A complete list of recognized student organizations, contact persons, and a brief description of each group along with the other campus organizations can be found in he Office of Student Activities.

The Office of Student Activities coordinates an Activities Fair as an opportunity for students to learn about all Winston-Salem State University. This fair is held the second full week of the fall semester in the Cleon F. Thompson Jr. Student Center.  

Student organizations are encouraged to use the Student Center's facilities before reserving alternative campus spaces.
