Something for everyone: Miami University clubs and organizations to join

With more than 600 clubs and organizations that any student can join, the extracurricular opportunities at Miami University can feel infinite and overwhelming for first-years. To get you started, we recommend checking out these seven organizations.

Don’t stop here, though! Make sure to check out all the clubs, intramural teams and more at Mega Fair from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 3 on Academic Quad.

Miami Activities and Programming

Do you love planning and coordinating events for others to enjoy? Do you want to help decide what events happen at Miami this year? Then Miami Activities and Programming (MAP) is the organization for you!

MAP aspires to bring a sense of community to students through shared experiences. It coordinates concerts featuring artists like Yung Gravy, movie nights out on Central Quad, skate nights at Goggin Ice Arena and more.

Interested in joining? Follow MAP on Instagram @miami_map for more information.

The Miami Film Society

As a student in Oxford, going to the movie theater means a 20-minute drive to Hamilton. If you're a movie buff, don’t have a car on campus or just don’t want to make the drive, join the Miami Film Society (MFS) for a theater-like experience.

MFS meets once a week for a movie screening and a discussion about that week's film for those who wish to stay. They screen movies like “Bullet Train,” “Interstellar” and “But I’m a Cheerleader.”

If you are interested in joining MFS, find it on The Hub and follow the directions to get updates on upcoming meetings.

The Miami Student

Interested in writing about hard news on topics such as affirmative action or reviews on movies like “Barbie”? Join The Miami Student team and write for sections like Campus & Community, Entertainment, Opinion and more.
