Joining a student club is one of the many ways to get involved on campus. Student club experiences can enhance your education here at VIU, and can help you develop your career once you complete your degree. Some of these clubs also enable you to contribute to making positive change in the world around you. Global Studies is a multidisciplinary program and each student can chart their own unique path within the program. Listed below are some of the clubs you can get involved in. We have also noted how they might relate to the respective Global Studies areas of specialization. |

Geography instructors would like to assist their students in developing their research skills through class projects that involve interacting with human subjects. This would involve conducting interviews, circulating questionnaires or surveys, and facilitating focus groups. These research techniques would be part of a structured research process involving posing a research question or problem, collecting data, formulating conclusions, and presenting findings to their fellow student and instructors.
