Student Organizations

What’s your passion? Whatever it is, chances are, no matter how different or obscure, at Lesley you won’t be the only person who’s into it. Because this is a place where people get involved and do things—things that bring them together.

Can’t find a club you’re interested in? Contact Student Activities to start your own.

• Undergraduate Student Government

  The Undergraduate Student Government serves as the voice of the Lesley undergraduate student population through meetings with administrators of Student Life, the College of Art and Design, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and more. 

  They host meetings where students can voice concerns, comments, and suggestions; and have a platform where students can submit official proposal for a university-wide change.

  Students can serve in various leadership positions within USG to serve as a voice, plan events, allocate funding, and more.

  At the beginning of each semester, the team hosts a meeting to show the dances available, rehearsal times, and how to join them. At the end of each semester, there is a showcase of all the dances, which is one of the most popular events on campus.

  The Dance Team is working toward creating a more inclusive, anti-racist environment for dancers. View the Dance Team's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statement regarding the ways the team will be restructuring their policies and habits toward a more proactive perspective.
