STUDENT INVOLVEMENT The office of student involvement offers a variety of ways for students to become active members of the university community. Students can explore their interests, meet others of similar or different backgrounds, and expand their breadth of experience through a variety of university and local engagement opportunities. atlinvolvement@scad.edu | 404.253.3334 1600 Peachtree St., Student Success Center
student media Interest meetings are held in the fall and spring. Look for announcements on MySCAD. No experience is required.
Student Clubs SCAD student clubs provide social, recreational, and professional activities for every member of the student body. Students can explore an interest, meet new people, or take on a leadership role. A full list of student clubs is available on the Inter-Club Council blog at blog.scad.edu/atlinvolvement.
United Student Forum All students are considered members of the United Student Forum (USF), the SCAD student representative body. USF acts as a communication channel within the student body as well as between students and the university administration. Representatives are selected to serve in USF leadership capacities throughout the year. Members of the executive committee, selected from existing USF representatives, act on behalf of all students and meet regularly with SCAD administrators to discuss ideas for improving the overall university community. atlusf@clubs.scad.edu
Community Service SCAD SERVE empowers the SCAD community to listen to the needs of its neighbors and local leaders, and to create meaningful design solutions that improve quality of life. In the university’s hometowns of Atlanta and Savannah, SCAD SERVE focuses on four critical areas of need: food, shelter, clothing, and the environment.
From serving meals to children in need and redesigning efficient and respectful clothing closets for the homeless to repairing and painting homes in low-income neighborhoods to cleaning and caring for local canals and waterways, SCAD SERVE leverages our students’ creative thinking and positive energy to make a difference in the lives of those within our communities. If your student has been involved in volunteerism at home or is interested in becoming a more active force for positive change, SCAD SERVE provides a fantastic opportunity for engagement in the university and local communities. Students can see upcoming service projects and sign up at scad.galaxydigital.com.
Religious Life Students of all faiths have many opportunities for involvement in religious life. Student religious organizations include Hillel, Reformed University Fellowship, and Young Life. Area congregations also organize college ministries along with opportunities for worship and fellowship, retreats, volunteer service, and more.
