Student Activities

Compare 65 years of student clubs and organizations gathered from the Iris and Buffalonian yearbooks.

Because it has always been relatively easy to start a student organization, and because most students are only at the University for four years, there has always been a high turnover when it comes to student organizations.

Take a look at the student organizations listed in the yearbooks for the following years: 1925, 1945, 1965, 1985. This is just a snap shot to give you an idea of how things change over time. You will see how clubs come and go and notice a few organizations with staying power.
