Clubs and Organizations
Passion and Enthusiasm
On our campus, saying “there’s nothing to do” simply doesn't fly. And one big reason for that is the abundance of student-led clubs and organizations from which you’ll have to choose. Build a house with Habitat for Humanity, be influential in Student Government, or explore the great outdoors with Trine Opt Outside.
Uniformity is boring. At Trine, there's something for everyone.
