It’s easy to get involved on campus! Vincennes University Jasper supports a wide range of student clubs and organizations that make substantial contributions to the social and academic life on campus outside of the traditional classroom. The University grants official recognition to those groups whose purpose, goals, and programs are consistent with the educational mission of Vincennes University Jasper. Students may pursue special interests, develop leadership, and find social expression and membership in various organizations and activities.
