Get Involved

Joining a Club

Joining a campus organization is one of the best decisions you can make at the University of Maryland. Through meeting other students with similar interests, you could form a new group of friends and a network that will be there for the rest of your life. Through joining a club you will also develop skills that will be helpful for your future careers, including budgeting, managing people, event planning and leadership. Academic research even shows that students who are involved in campus activities are more likely to graduate on time.

TerpLink is our student organization database that keeps updated information of every registered organization.

• Search for organizations with key words that fit your specific interests.
• Click the "join" button in the upper right hand corner
• Contact the organization and let them know you are interested in joining the org!
• Scroll down on their organization's page on TerpLink and find the org's answer to the question "how does a student get involved with your organization?" 

Two other great opportunities to find an organization are First Look Fair and Second Look Fair, which are involvement fairs at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters where hundreds of our registered orgs participate to recruit new members.

Lastly, you can always visit the Student Involvement Suite, talk to one of our student staff members about their experiences, or just pop in to a meeting happening in the Suite at any time! Our TV’s are constantly scrolling through advertisements for our organizations and inside the suite a large screen shows every organization  that has scheduled an event or meeting in the Suite for that day.
