Time to Join Something

So you got to the Activities Fair last Tuesday and found a club that looks like a definite possibility. 

But you're still not really sure whether you should go to that upcoming club meeting you've been invited to. You're busy, your classes seem like a lot of work, the weather is crummy, you're kind of shy around new people--maybe it would be easier (you tell yourself) to just kick back and sit this semester out.

Don't listen to that "No" voice!

Why join a club at NCC? 

Let's count the reasons.

Involvement in clubs gives you a chance to

• learn important skills (like how to run a meeting, organize an event, and work with others);

• learn about a subject that interests you (the stock market, the environment, the recording industry, etc.);

• explore a career (accounting, marketing, food service, interior design, etc.) that may lead somewhere good;

• right the world's wrongs (plenty of work to do here!);

• celebrate your culture, religion, or ethnicity;

• put something thoughtful on your next college or scholarship application; or

• do something fun.

Convinced?  But wait--there's more. 

By far the best reason of all to join something at NCC is the chance to be part of a COMMUNITY--in other words, to meet and get to know people who share a common interest or goal.  COMMUNITY is important everywhere, of course, but at a big commuter school like Nassau, it's vital. 

COMMUNITY gives a human face to college and makes the experience more social and friendly.  It makes good times better and bad times bearable.  It reminds us that we need other people, that others need us, and that being around people is a good thing all around.

So be good to yourself: Put those doubts aside and get to that club meeting. 

There's never been a better time than now to join--to be part of the Nassau COMMUNITY.
