Academic Organizations

This community is entirely comprised of nursing students from St. Joseph's BSN program. Our members range from newly welcomed freshmen to senior students who, in few short months, will be sitting for their NCLEX! The entire purpose of this club is to provide support, resources, and foster a sense of community among classmates. For freshmen and sophomore classes awaiting clinical, this club will serve as a look in what's to come! Aside from interacting and collecting useful knowledge from upperclassmen, you can get involved with our fundraisers and events that give back to the community! Let this be a place of support whether it be navigating health clearance for clinical, creating a resource pool for student-made study guides, or locating the best NCLEX prep questions online! Regardless of where you are in the program, we hope to be apart of your journey as future RNs!

The Child Study Club is open to students of all majors. Its intention is to promote events and activities that have to do with early childhood, childhood and special education.

The Child Study Club also sponsors educational events such as APA format and SESIS workshops, and engages in the partnership that the Child Study department has with P.S. 247.

The National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA) is a pre-professional membership association for students interested in the study of communication sciences and disorders. We strive to create an awareness and understanding of speech pathology.

Last year, Our Time Theatre Company performed at St. Joseph's University. Our Time provides a safe community free from judgment, where children who stutter come together and express themselves creatively. This year, the club is planning to have more events to educate the St. Joseph's University community on speech disorders and how people have overcome them and accomplished their goals. Throughout the year, the funds we raise will be donated to the National Stuttering Association.

EVENTS

In addition to regular club meetings, we also participate in Teen Club events throughout the semester. Past events also include the Autism Speaks Walk.                                     

The mission of the psychology club is to develop an interest in the understanding and study of psychology. We also educate students on the different aspects of psychology through events featuring guest speakers, films and demonstrations. The Psychology Club aims to encourage the application of theories in everyday life while providing support for those interested in entering a psychology-related field.

"MY ABILITY IS STRONGER THAN MY DISABILITY."

MISSION

The Recreation Club promotes awareness and raises money for causes such as the Breast Cancer Walk, ALS Walk, the MS Walk, etc.

The  Recreation Club  is not really a club about playing games as people may think, it is  about giving back and giving a help hand to those in need. We show that we care about everyone whether they have a disability or not. We want to show others that someone's life doesn't stop due to their disability. As a club we show and express that people who have disabilities are as equally important as people without disabilities, and that they should live everyday of their lives to the fullest.
