Student Engagement
Get involved. Build connections. Make your mark.
Student life is what makes college worth it! At Batten University, the Office of Student Engagement makes it easy to find your place. Whether you want to lead, create, compete, perform, serve, or just show up to something fun on a Friday night, there's no shortage of ways to get involved.
With 40+ student organizations, a thriving Fraternity and Sorority community, a student-run programming board, and a student government with a real seat at the table, the connections and experiences you build outside the classroom are every bit as valuable as the ones inside it.
Ways to Get Involved
Student Organizations
With 40+ clubs and organizations spanning academics, arts, athletics, service, culture, and faith, there’s something here for everyone — and room to start something new if there isn’t.
Fraternity & Sorority Life
Greek life at Batten University offers brotherhood, sisterhood, leadership opportunities, and a network that extends well beyond graduation.
Off The Hook
Student-planned, student-run weekend programming. Off The Hook Event Supervisors are paid positions — a great way to build leadership skills while throwing events your classmates will actually want to attend.
Student Government Association
SGA is the direct link between the student body and University administration. From student forums to campus initiatives, this is how students shape the direction of Batten University.
Annual Traditions
Some of the best memories from college don’t happen in the classroom. These are a few of the events that define life at Batten University.
First-Year Fest
New students kick off their first week with music, activities, food, and fun. It's the unofficial start of your Batten experience.
Homecoming
A full weekend of events: Homecoming Court, a tailgate during athletics, an alumni reunion, and a dance. The biggest weekend of the year.
Glow Party
New students dance the night away under neon lights with three dueling DJs. An early-semester tradition that's hard to forget.
Late Night Breakfast
Faculty and staff serve bacon, eggs, and biscuits to students as a final treat before final exams begin. Yes, really.
The Bobbies
The Student Leadership Awards. Student leaders and organizations are recognized for their achievements at an end-of-year celebration.
Annual Tree Lighting
Marlins ring in the holiday season with our annual tree lighting complete with hot chocolate, competitions, and holiday guests.
Mobile Marlins
Commuting to campus? Make campus your home away from home. The Office of Student Engagement is committed to making sure your experience reflects that. From dedicated lounge space in the Jane P. Batten Student Center to commuter meet-and-greets and access to campus resources after hours, the Mobile Marlins program makes it easier to stay connected and get the most out of your time here.
