All research shows that the more socially integrated students are in the culture of the academy, the more likely it is that they will succeed.  Toward that end, we see the importance of extra-curricular activities as they are crucial in helping students feel they are part of the academic community.  Any extra-curricular activity--from health, wellness, and intramural sports, to serving in the Student Government Association, to attending academic lectures—adds to the sense of cohesiveness and motivation that are necessary for all student success.  The many activities sponsored within the Residence Halls, the debates and panels sponsored by Panorama, Third-World Studies, and Windows to the World, are crucial parts to engaging students and keeping them on track to graduate.
