Student Activities

You’ve got a major, two minors, an intramural team, and two clubs. What will you do in your spare time?

Annual Events and Traditions

Every year we host Orientation, Welcome Week, Family Day, Fall Ball, Zombie Prom, Culture Shock, Pancake Madness, Annual Student Awards, Senior Week, and Commencement— quintessential Purchase experiences.

Community Service

We believe in giving back to our community; knowledge and art are nothing if not shared. Check out the many ways you can get involved with serving the world around you, both near and far.

Leadership Opportunities

With such a bright and vivacious community of scholars and artists here at Purchase, it’s not surprising that so many of our students are called to lead. Get involved with shaping the world around you through one of our many leadership opportunities.

Special Events

You’ll never be bored, unless you want to be. The Office of Community Engagement plans events all semester long to keep you involved, excited, moving, or relaxed. Check out our Events Calendar and see what you like.
