There’s a student organization for every EMC major
The main hallway of the College of Media and Entertainment was abuzz last week with a fair and exposition of the student organizations affiliated with programs in the College. For the EMC department in particular, there is at least one student organization for every EMC major. The exposition was sponsored and organized by the MTSU ACM SIGGRAPH chapter of the world’s largest organization for computer graphics and interactivity.
Any student enrolled at MTSU may join any official MTSU student organization. One’s studies do not even need to relate to the organization, however, most student organizations naturally attract members whose major is relevant to the field.
Student organizations can provide valuable qualities to the university experience. Because student members decide among themselves how and what they want to do with their organizations, this provides opportunities that are not available in the curriculum. When students who share common interests get together, there is both camaraderie, and an opportunity to participate in activities that contribute to the educational experience. Many students use these opportunities to generate experience points for their resumes and content for their portfolios.
