Activities & Clubs
The Office of Activities & Clubs at Anna Maria College is committed to enhancing the student experience outside of the classroom. Our office can be seen as the bookends to your college experience. We start with assisting new students in their transition to Anna Maria though orientation programs and end by hosting a series of Senior Week events to cap off your time at Anna Maria College – and we do a lot more in between.
Throughout your time as an AMCAT, The Office of Activities & Clubs develops and supports the Student Government Association and the clubs and organizations that fall under the SGA. These clubs and orgs help to make our campus vibrant through hosting a variety of social, educational or celebratory programs. We have over 30 clubs for you to choose from, but would love to help you start something new that aligns with your passions.
