Notes:Going to class, studying for exams, writing papers, are essential tasks for your academic success. However, they’re still only a part of college life. Another substantial portion of your “education” will consist of the formal and informal activities you pursue beyond the classroom. A comprehensive co-curricular environment developed and maintained by the Division of Student Activities offsets VSU’s rigorous academic curriculum. Through its student union, educational, cultural, social, and recreational programs are developed and implemented to enrich student’s academic experiences, individual social competencies, leadership skills, and group effectiveness.
