The 50 Groups

The 50 is...

  • a great way to meet other new students!
  • low risk - no commitment, just fun.
  • a common interest group meeting.
  • FREE!

The 50 is NOT...

  • a club - we already have over 400 awesome clubs you can join.
  • exclusive - The 50 is open to ALL Wildcats.
  • intended for you to be an expert in that area. It's just a fun way to meet a group of people who share an interest or identity with you.
During the fall semester, The 50 includes fifty common interests groups to help you connect with other students. 
During the spring semester, we have fewer groups, but the same amount of fun and connection to other students!
