The purpose of the Sociology Club is to encourage informal interaction among faculty and students, provide opportunities for students interested in sociology to meet one another, and provide a forum for relevant activities.
Members decide what they are interested in and field trips and informal lectures are organized.
During the Spring semester of 2000, the Sociology Club hosted the Midwest Student Sociology Conference at the IUN campus. The goal of the conference was to enable students from the surrounding area to present their original findings to a group of peers in a professional settting. Such experiences are very important for students who wish to continue their academic career in graduate school. Membership is open to all IUN students who have social concerns and seek a broad understanding of contemporary domestic and global events. Members do not have to be sociology majors.
