Whether online or on campus, students advocated for their chosen causes, engaged in sports and cultural activities, and performed acts of service throughout the year. Student clubs offered important avenues for constructive community engagement during this challenging period. Out of 40 clubs, six were new this year, including the Animal Welfare Society, Arabic Debate Club, Society of the Creative Arts, Southeast and East Asian Club, Technology and Video Games Club, and The Free Society. Student activities encompassed several themes, including pandemic resilience, cultural awareness, and social justice.
