Student Clubs

Harold Washington College (HWC) students can choose from a large selection of clubs and organizations or form their own. Club membership and participation enhance the academic experience by providing opportunities for students to grow socially, network professionally and share in the overall college experience. Students interested in joining any of HWC’s student clubs and organizations should request a Club Interest Form from the Office of Student Services in Room 204 at the HWC campus.

Students interested in forming a new club may apply for club recognition from the same office and must have at least one sponsor who is a full-time credit faculty member. The faculty sponsor assists in coordinating activities and programs, oversees finances, and chaperones all social events.
