Get Involved

Nicholls State University is a community of students, faculty, and staff. The touchstones for student success lie in the pursuit of learning, personal growth, and engagement in campus life. Students actively involved in campus life improve their academic performance, develop leadership skills, participate in Colonel traditions and make life-long friends.

When we say that we want Nicholls State University to be your “home away from home” we mean it. There are over 90 Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) for you to choose from when it comes to getting involved at Nicholls! RSOs are groups that are officially recognized by the Nicholls State University Office of Student Activities and Organizations. These RSOs provide an opportunity for student-focused growth and leadership in a student-driven environment. We are proud to have 9 different categories that these groups identify with: Academic, Honor Society, Recreation, Special Interest, Greek, Religious, Honorary and University Sponsored.
