Most students go to college to learn, but they will quickly learn that there is more to the college experience than the classroom. College offers students opportunities to pursue interests, but sadly, too many college students pass up some of the opportunities offered because they are too focused on either their academic life or their work life. Students should know that taking part in extracurriculars will help them develop skills that will be useful inside and outside of the class.
At FIU, there are all sorts of student councils, organizations and clubs on campus, and there are so many people who have a common purpose or shared duties. Aside from the plethora of opportunity, getting involved on campus offers so many significant benefits that will make the college experience so much better.
It’s a lot of hard work to create a club, and even more to keep a club going, but FIU’s Japan Club continues to prove how successful it is. Miguel Rischmaui, a senior double majoring in computer science and asian studies, and also the president of the Japan Club, said that the Japan Club was originally formed many years ago by students who had an interest in Japanese culture.
