The transition from high school to college can be tough for some students. However, Cabrini makes it easier for students by offering many different ways to get involved and go beyond your education.
Students can engage in clubs like CAP Board, the dance team, the green team and the many athletic programs that Cabrini offers.
Ryan Klott, a junior exercise science and health promotion major, thinks Cabrini does a great job at getting students involved around campus. “There are clubs for almost anything and allows opportunities to meet important people. It helps because it gives you connections for after we graduate and enter the real world,” Klott said.
All around campus there are flyers for clubs and teams that you can join. Getting involved not only helps further your education, but it also builds relationships. Club sports and groups teams are a very fun and easy way to make new friends and learn more of what Cabrini is all about.
“There are a lot of opportunities at Cabrini and I believe if students were more involved they would get a different aspect of what Cabrini is all about,” sophomore accounting major Anthony DiMartino said.
Most students are timid about joining new clubs or groups because it’s still new to them. Deciding whether or not to try something that is unfamiliar and something you aren’t used to can be stressful.
Taking a leap of faith never hurt anyone. Students are encouraged everyday at Cabrini to try something they’re not used to. Even the commuters are reminded when they drive under the “Do Something Extraordinary” banner hanging from the trees.
Getting involved is so beneficial in so many ways. Building relationships, making connections, furthering your education and building your resume are all real opportunities students can gain.
2014 graduate Sami Ysais, a tutor for the CTL stressed the importance of getting involved at Cabrini.
“I think the more students get involved and engage in what they’re learning, and even in the activities outside of classes, the more they will get out of it,” Ysais said.
Sometimes it is hard to admit when you need help with something but the numerous resources at Cabrini make it easier to get help.
“The CTL is a great resource and I think students should use it more. I think it’s hard for students to admit when they need help sometimes, but it’s always beneficial when they visit.”
