Clubs and Organizations

You don’t need to be a Michelangelo, Maya Angelou, or Einstein to participate in student activity programs at ARCC. We have computer whizzes in the Art Club and working dads active on the newspaper staff. Whatever your passion or hobby, Anoka-Ramsey has the club to fan its flame. If, however, your interest isn't represented and you'd like to form your own club, you’re welcome to meet with the Director/Coordinator of Student Activities. Our Clubs and Organizations Guide will help you start a club or guide you through your participation in a club.
