New Clubs at PVCC this Spring
PVCC has over 50 clubs to choose from that are currently in session, and more are still being added. Dual enrollment club will be beginning this upcoming semester, volunteer club will be returning, and Dungeons and Dragons club has kicked off this Fall semester.
“Being involved with clubs while in college keeps you connected to the school; you will feel you have a purpose,” says Mary-Evelyn Sellars, coordinator of student life and campus engagement. “Whether it’s creating friendships, learning to network, working together as a team, or enjoying a fun outing for team bonding. I highly recommend joining one of our 53 clubs here at PVCC. We have something for everyone.”
Dual enrollment club will be starting this Spring, founded by dual enrollment student Evie Porter. She got the idea to start the club while looking for other clubs to get involved with. “Making friends isn’t always easy, so I wanted to create a place where high schoolers can unwind and connect with other people in their same walk of life,” she said.
The club meets weekly on Mondays to eat, talk, and play ping pong. Right now, they are planning a Winter Social and other events like bowling. Dual enrollment club meets Mondays at noon on the patio. Contact Evie Porter at eviefarfalla@gmail.com for more information.
Volunteer club is returning this Spring as well. Club President Taylor Rice said, “I’ve had a passion for volunteer work for many years. It’s such a rewarding thing to do. You meet new people different and alike, strengthen your community, and gain so much useful experience. I had just finished volunteering one day when I decided to take a step and create this club. I wanted to help students grow, make their transcripts look better, and experience that great feeling after volunteering knowing that you helped so many people.”
They plan to volunteer at a multitude of events including food banks and food drives. While the volunteer club does not have a set meeting time, they do have a Canvas page where students can get all updates. Email Taylor Rice at tr8106@email.vccs.edu to learn more.
Dungeons and Dragons club began this semester and is open for students with all levels of experience, but Co-founder and President Morgana Bizier has been playing since middle school. “I’ve seen first-hand the friendships it can form and the communities it creates. It’s a game that brings people of all kinds together,” she said.
Right now, they are only meeting to play D&D, but in the future, she hopes to set up other fun events like movie nights and miniature painting. The club meets every Friday from noon until 3 in room M154. Those who are interested should contact Morgana Bizier at lb31839@email.vccs.edu.
