Environmental gateway students are known for organizing volunteer restoration projects, such as planting trees in Discovery Park. The education and social policy gateway students have organized very successful forums with local leaders on welfare reform and women's issues. Student social life at the Evans School offers an array of choices. Intramural sports teams such as basketball, volleyball, ultimate Frisbee, crew, and soccer are quite popular. Happy hours, gateway dinners, and student-faculty teas invite students to take a break and socialize with their classmates, faculty, and staff.
Students are apt to plan a group skiing trip to Whistler, B.C. for the weekend.
