00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.000
I wanted to get involved in a club at WOU so I could make more friends

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.000
in places I wouldn't normally find them, and be involved in more things.

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.000
Go for it. Don't hold back; talk to any officer.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.000
Anyone that's in a club or anyone that's an officer of a club loves to 

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.000
get people that are interested.

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.000

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:31.000
Find something you're interested in, and if we have it here at WOU, join it.

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.000
They're always more than happy to take you.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.000
I didn't really know that I was into rock climbing until I got into it.

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.000
But now having that community is basically a whole new family.

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:46.000
When you join a club, not only are you a group of friends, but

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.000
everyone has at least one thing in common with you.

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.000
I got involved in Byte Club because I wanted to have a better connection

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.000
between me, my peers, and my teachers.

00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:62.000
If you just go to college for your classes and your credits, you don't grow

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.000
as much as a person.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.000

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.000
You really get connected with your campus more than just going to classes.

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:16.000
You're involved with extracurriculars and you find a way to serve your campus.

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.000
It really helped me become more outgoing and open to organizations and ideas.

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.000
We're away from home, we need to make new experiences, we need to make

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000
new friends, and making these connections with people is the best way

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.000
to go about your college career.

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.000
Being involved in a club at WOU has made me a more diverse person.

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.000
A more outgoing person.

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.000
More active. Very happy. Confident.

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.000
A caring person. Really connected me to this campus.

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.000
It has helped my communication skills.

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.000
Prepared for the future. WOU has made me a better leader.

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.000
Just more effective as a person.
