Student organizations within SIA provide opportunities for leadership, community-building, event planning, and other enrichment activities.

SIA students are active in our building, on campus, and across the globe. Being part of a student organization is a great way to build community and advance shared interests. In recent years, our student organizations have:

  • advocated for students' interests and needs, within SIA and across the Graduate School;
  • planned and executed major events, including a Civil Rights Forum;
  • hosted prominent guest speakers;
  • organized group activities such as hiking, tailgating, and potluck dinners; and more!

Our events and programs are open to all students regardless of sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, or any other protected class. Penn State SIA is committed to building a community of belonging for all.
