There are over two dozen different clubs that students can get involved with, all academically based. At the beginning of each semester, the SRC/TSI ratifies the clubs, provides them with some start-up cash, and then they pretty much run themselves.

Some clubs raise the money to compete in competitions, some to take trips to their future work environments, and some attend club-specific conferences.
