Did you know that Cornell has more than 1,200 active student organizations? Here\u2019s a visual visit to just a few<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Melissa Newcomb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill is home to a wide variety of student organizations\u20141,221 currently active ones, to be exact\u2014that immeasurably enrich campus life. From the Cornell Chimes to the sailing club, the groups are centered around a wide variety of topics: community service; animals and wildlife; the performing and visual arts; games; cultures and ethnicities; social justice; food and drink; and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey give students a really cool opportunity to showcase what\u2019s important to them and share their identities, passions, and interests with others,\u201d says Kyle Schillace, associate director for campus activities in Student & Campus Life<\/a>, \u201cor to explore something that\u2019s totally different to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the fall 2024 semester, Cornell photographers documented the activities of a sampling of these vibrant student groups; here\u2019s a tour of some of the resulting images. (And stay tuned for future installments!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are many aspects to what success means for a student,\u201d Schillace observes. \u201cOf course, there\u2019s the academics, but another really meaningful piece is how connected they feel to the community they create\u2014and student groups let them do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are snapshots of seven active student groups:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Block and Bridle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Members<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This animal agriculture group offers hands-on opportunities for activities like horse handling and grooming, duck husbandry, lambing, and sheep handling. The club also organizes educational tours within the Vet College and to local farms and hosts a Livestock Show and Barnyard Fun Day each spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Baja Racing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Members<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fantastic Fungi Fanatics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Two<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A passion for fungi brings together members, who participate in activities like field trips to hunt and identify mushrooms; there are even cooking sessions, movie nights, and \u201c\u2019shroom art.\u201d The goal: to create a fun environment while spotlighting an essential\u2014but often overlooked\u2014ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Swing Syndicate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dancers<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Open to everyone from beginners on up, the club hosts weekly lessons and events in the Big Red Barn for anyone interested in learning swing dancing and practicing their moves. Dances include the Lindy Hop, Charleston, and Shag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
