Daytona Beach Campus Clubs and Organizations
The Office of Student Activities works to develop an active campus life by providing programs and activities for students to realize their academic and personal potential. The Student Activities office helps students feel connected to the university through leadership development programs, student organizations, and other programs. Student organizations continue to grow and thrive on campus. With approximately 120 organizations, there are many opportunities to become involved. Being part of a club enables students to enhance leadership skills through workshops, retreats, and leadership programs. When students participate in events, they help enhance campus life outside the classroom. To participate in a student organization, students must be enrolled at Embry-Riddle, have a minimum 2.0 CGPA, and be in good standing with the university. Student Activities office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to-5 p.m. Contact the office at (386) 226-6039 with any questions, or stop by and meet the staff in the John Paul Riddle Student Center, room 107.
