I think joining a club, attending events, playing a sport, or landing a work-study job are some of the best and most effective ways to make friends and build a resume. Getting involved helps you meet people with similar interests while building leadership, teamwork, and professional skills. It’s certainly worked for me, and made my experience at Le Moyne SO MUCH more fun.

Dolphin Tip: Enjoy Every Second of Your College Experience

There are SO many clubs and organizations on campus and you can join as soon as you get here! I didn’t end up joining anything until my sophomore year, and it’s something I regret. It’s hands down the best way to meet people. If you’re sort of shy like I am, I can tell you it definitely works. You’ll find something for nearly every interest and passion.

If you don’t think joining a club or organization is for you, there are also so many other organizations, intramural and club sports, and jobs you can find! Club sports are so fun, and can help if you played a sport in high school but don’t want to play on any of the varsity sports here. I got a work study job by e-mailing one of my professors and asking if they needed someone to be a lab monitor. If you don’t get a work study job right away, nothing is stopping you from finding your own!

Dolphin Tip: Never be Afraid to Ask for Help!

Yes! Throughout the year, attending campus events and games is another awesome way to meet people and feel like a part of the community. There are live musicians, bus trips, movies, games, trivia, dances, and fun tournaments (like whiffle ball and kick ball) every weekend to be a part of only for a day.

Dolphin Tip: Be Sure to Check Out What’s Happening on Campus

If you’re shy like I am, trust me, you won’t be alone! Many students feel that way at first. Joining a club, attending an event, or participating in a campus activity can be a low-pressure way to meet people and build confidence. Taking that first step leads to friendships, opportunities, and experiences that shape your college journey. You won’t be sorry you did!

Dolphin Tip: Your first days are about exploration not perfection!

Think about the talents, interests, and passions that make you unique and set you apart from other people! Le Moyne’s close-knit community will allow you to take on meaningful leadership roles, contribute your ideas, and make a real, immediate impact. Whether through leadership, service, academics, athletics, or creative pursuits, you’ll have opportunities to make your mark. And never forget that you’re YOU, and that’s your biggest selling point.
