Clubs & Organizations

NMHU encourages students to look beyond the classroom.  The office of Campus Life oversees several clubs and organizations that are established by students.  Each club represents a unique interest, both educational and academic in nature.  Every chartered club and organization is open to all NMHU students. 

All chartered clubs/organizations must (re)apply to the Office of Campus Life during the fall semester (no later than September 15th) of each school year to be officially recognized by the university. Chartering of a new club/organization may take place at any time.
