Find Your "Big 3"

With hundreds of student organizations at Miami, finding the right fit can feel overwhelming. The good news is that you do not need to join every organization. Focus on finding your Big 3: three types of organizations that can help you build a meaningful and balanced college experience.

Current Interests

Find Your Community

Join an organization where you feel connected, build friendships, and find a sense of belonging.

Academic or Professional Interests

Develop Your Skills

Get involved in a group that helps you grow as a leader, build your resume, explore career interests, and gain valuable experience.

New Experiences

Challenge Yourself to Grow

Step outside your comfort zone and explore something new. Choose an organization that introduces you to new perspectives, skills, and experiences.
