Georgia State University has hundreds of chartered clubs and organizations ranging from activism, community involvement, sports, entertainment and more. Culture and diversity continues to expand as the Student Life Committee, a Georgia State department, accepts more applications for student-run organizations.
There is something for everyone, especially when it comes to networking with other students who share similar interest. The expansion of Georgia State’s campus has led to an increase in student organization activities. A few of the new organizations, that were chartered after the consolidation, focus on education, activism and religion.
