Academic and Honors Societies
The Academic and Honor Society Clubs and Organizations seek to recognize student achievement, better understand the academic fields of interest, and engage with students and allow them the space to grow individually and professionally. These clubs and organizations are great for students that want to excel in their field of study outside of the classroom, network, and gain new connections to the world of knowledge.

We also engage in several volunteer projects to serve our local communities and offer opportunities for students to get leadership, service, and clinical experience. Finally, we plan to incorporate some professional networking and research opportunities for pre-health students so they can grow in their professional careers. Come check us out!
