WHY IS INVOLVEMENT IMPORTANT?

activity, they . . .
• Receive better grades.
• Are more successful in their academic program.
• Are more likely to stay in school and graduate on time.
• Feel more satisfied with the college experience.
• Are more marketable for internships, jobs, and graduate programs.
• Develop valuable leadership and interpersonal skills.
