Student Organizations

Join or Create a Student Organization at Frostburg State University

Getting involved on campus is one of the best ways to build community, develop leadership skills, and enhance your college experience. Whether you’re interested in governance, finance, event planning, service, athletics, or something entirely unique, there’s a place for you at FSU.

Browse our student organizations, create a profile using your FSU credentials, and get matched with groups that align with your interests. You can also connect directly with organization presidents through the Bobcat Links page.

Why Join an Organization?

• Develop leadership and event-planning experience
• Connect with students who share your passions
• Access funding and other campus resources
• Strengthen your résumé through real-world involvement

Can’t Find the Right Group? Start One.

If you don’t see an organization that matches your interests, email FSUorganizations@frostburg.edu. A member of the Student Engagement team will schedule an appointment to walk you through the process of starting a new organization and guide you on next steps.
