Student Clubs and Organizations
An invitation
Hello Hawks! My name is Janice Argueta and I am the Graduate Assistant for Campus Events and Student Activities, working directly with Clubs and Organizations. There are many opportunities for students to get involved; joining clubs and orgs. is one of them! We offer HNU students the opportunity to foster an inclusive environment where they are able to develop their leadership and mentorship skills through social, cultural, political, and special interest programs and activities. I invite you to take a look at our current Clubs and Organizations below. If you have any questions, comments, or want to start your own club, please feel free to contact me at argueta@hnu.edu.

The purpose of the Peace and Justice Club is to raise awareness about current peace and justice movements, and to provide students with opportunities to respond to the social issues that concern them.
