At NYU-SCPS, student clubs reflect the professional passions and the creative pursuits of the members of our student body, and form the foundation of our student community. Clubs often invite guest lecturers in to share their knowledge on industry-related topics. Recent guests have included a senior editor at Newsweek, top PR professionals, and a senior fellow from the Council on Foreign Relations. Clubs enhance your academic and social experience, foster life-long relationships, provide networking opportunities, and build a strong school community.

The Student Council, with support from the NYU-SCPS Office of Student Life, works to enhance student life at NYU-SCPS. Members of the Student Council act as advocates for students, bringing their ideas and concerns to faculty members and administrative leadership, serving as an information resource, and providing opportunities to interact with peers from across NYU-SCPS and NYU. In addition, the Student Council oversees club activities and their funding.
