Clubs part of his school experience
Student balances school, work and leading
Eduardo Razo / Roundup
Being a part of nine campus clubs, having a job, and studying as a Pierce College student comprises the normal, everyday life of 21-year-old dance major Daniel Jin Nah.
D.J., as his friends like to call him, is in his third semester at Pierce and is the current president of the Performing Arts club, a club that he helped found.
“Starting my own club came from being involved in clubs in high school,” said Nah. “My own club [Performing Arts] is not only about performing, but helping students get over that fear of performing and, not to mention, we have a good dance team.”
Nah isn’t just an officer of his club.
In fact, he is currently or has held positions in other campus clubs, like the Anthropology Club, the Gamers Club, and Political Science Student Association.
“The way I got introduced to the clubs was through my own interest and through friends,” said Nah. “I wanted to just experiment to see what clubs I could join and see if it fits me.”
Clubs aren’t just a place for a group of people to socialize; they are also to help those who are alone and with their head down just coming and going to school.
The goal of the clubs he is a part of is to help these kind of students socialize, according to Nah.
Editing and film major Lorena Zevallos, 20, who has known Nah for over two years, describes him as dedicated.
She and Nah are members of the International Students Club and Cinema Club.
The Cinema and International Students clubs are just two out of the nine clubs Nah is committed to.
The other clubs include Political Science, Gamers, Ars Poetica, Business and Economics.
“D.J. is very dedicated,” said Associated Students Organization (ASO) Vice President Shane Mooney. “I am surprised he has enough time to be in nine clubs and still have the time to actually play video games.”
