Beyond academics, student life is an essential part of your college experience and we are excited to introduce the Aurora Complex, a state-of-the-art health and recreation facility designed to enhance campus life.  Currently in the design phase, this facility will create a dynamic space for students to stay active, socialize, and unwind. We look forward to bringing this exciting new addition to campus soon.

In addition to the Aurora Complex, we offer a variety of clubs, organizations, and social events to help you connect with your peers and make lifelong friendships.
