Arizona Western Clubs and Organizations represent a wide variety of student aptitudes and interests. The activities, events, and programs sponsored by the clubs and organizations complement the AWC academic programs by providing opportunities for recreation, fellowship, and practical training for intelligent leadership and superlative citizenship.
Clubs are initiated by student interest and therefore change frequently. A club is formed when a student voices the need or want for a particular club to the Coordinator of Student Leadership and Activities. An AWC club advisor is then sought. After club paperwork is submitted to the office of Student Activities the club can begin activity immediately.
