Description
This lesson aimed to increase students' awareness of the diverse co-curricular involvement opportunities available on campus, emphasizing the positive impact such involvement can have on personal and professional growth. Research by the Center for the Study of Student Life at The Ohio State University found a direct link between co-curricular engagement and enhanced career readiness, with involved students rated more hireable and prepared by employers than their uninvolved peers (Center for the Study of Student Life, 2020). Drawing from this research, the lesson introduced students to various campus clubs at SUNY Cortland, including academic, cultural, artistic, and sports organizations, as well as fraternities and sororities. Students identified three clubs they were interested in exploring further, with the goal of inspiring active engagement and showcasing the long-term benefits of involvement. By raising awareness of campus resources and encouraging active participation, this lesson contributes to students' academic and career success.
