You’ve signed up for classes. Your homework is done. Still feel a need to do something constructive in your free time? Moorpark College has many clubs representing various extracurricular activities which you can join.
Director of External Affairs for Associated Students, Max Reyes, 20, feels joining a club is an excellent way to get involved in the activities and to associate with other people interested in those activities. One can enrich skills, become involved, and give something back.
“It brings me closer to my interests and it introduces me to people who have similar interests,” said Reyes.
Besides his involvement with AS, Reyes is also a member of AGS, an acronym for Alpha Gamma Sigma, a California Community College Scholastic Honor society, and the honors club, a Moorpark College Student organization. Both organizations involve helping out in the community.
Moorpark College has a wide range of choices. Political, religious, sports, ethnic, and specialized clubs such as the Anime Club and the Film Makers Club are some of the 28 registered clubs.
Students who want to join a club can join any time. The only qualification necessary for every Moorpark club is that students must be enrolled at Moorpark College. Then, they have only to contact the club to ask if they have room for more. You can find out if a club is for you simply by attanding a meeting or two. Performance in the club doesn’t have an academic effect, although a few clubs such as AGS do require a certain level of academic qualification to get to the higher levels of membership. Associated Students, located at the campus center in the same building as the cafeteria, presides over the activities of student organizations and approval of new clubs. For more information on joining a club or starting a new one, contact AS advisor Andrew Anzalone at 378-1400 ext. 1635.
