Professional Student Clubs

Interact with other students outside of the classroom by joining a professional student club at any time. Participating in a club helps you learn more about a profession. It also provides you with an opportunity to network with faculty and working professionals in your field.

Choose from the HSHP clubs below or visit IC Engage to join other clubs available on campus. All HSHP professional clubs are open to students regardless of race, color, sex, national origin, political or religious affiliation, or sexual orientation.
