There is a great number of wonderful clubs students can join here at Drew University. While this is a great thing, it also means some clubs will fly a little under the radar. Below, you can read about some clubs that are looking for new members.
The Drew Women’s Rugby team is a great place for any female student interested in the sport of rugby. It consists of running, passing and some tackling, as well as set pieces called scrums and lineouts. Though it may seem intimidating at first, almost everyone on the team learned how to play rugby here at Drew, so there is no need to know anything prior. All that matters is that you try your best and be yourself, because there is a position open for anybody. Practices take place at Tilghman Field every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m., so feel free to stop by to meet the team! If you have any questions, reach out to the captains Ana Hatch at ahatch@drew.edu or Gretchen Rollinger at grollinger@drew.edu.
If you enjoy creating a positive impact in your community, you should join the Drew Performing Arts Accessibility Coordinators. This club is dedicated to providing accessibility resources for Drew’s theatre and dance performances, and is also hoping to provide workshops centered on disability justice and history. If you are an Action Scholar, you can even receive experiential learning hours for participating in the club. Anyone interested should email dpaac@drew.edu, as well as follow @dpaac_ on Instagram.
With elections coming up, it is as important as ever to be aware of the importance of your vote. The Drew Student Voter Project’s mission is to inform students on campus about the election cycle and voting without fear of judgment. For some students, voting may not be a high priority, so they make voting as simple and easy to understand as possible. By delivering short presentations to classrooms and encouraging voter registration at various events across campus, learning how to vote becomes as easy as ever. If you’re interested in joining or learning more about voting, you can email DSVP@drew.edu.
All of the clubs mentioned above are welcoming new members with open arms. Their leaders will make sure you are comfortable and having fun, so if you are even a little interested, think about joining; you may find something you end up loving.
