Our students show an uncommon interest in getting involved. On-campus, many serve through Student Government. The freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes each nominates students for office. The classes also elect representatives to the executive board. These leaders enhance all aspects of campus life.
Students also contribute to campus life through the performing arts.
Close to 100 students participate in our student choir, the Manhattan College Players, our student jazz band, and other campus groups. Off-campus, young Jaspers volunteer to make our world a better place. Social Action also sponsored retreats trips to Honduras and West Virginia, where students provided tutoring, building assistance, and other forms of service to the rural poor. Our vibrant Campus Ministry emphasizes the spiritual aspect of service. Campus Ministry works closely with Social Action, organizing programs to help children, the elderly, and the poor.
