As we head back to classes, clubs are starting again, and many have interest meetings for new members. Why not celebrate the new year with an exciting activity? Try something new to start the year right!
Sports and Physical Activities
For starters, one possibility is Stevens’ Climbing and Mountaineering Club (CAM). They have climbed at various places, from Gravity Vault in Hoboken to Central Park in the city. Another option is TECHnique, a club dedicated to learning different types of dancing. Last semester, they had a showcase highlighting their skills in dances like jazz, hip-hop, and musical theatre. Additionally, there are also free group exercise classes including exercises like yoga and dance fitness. The class reservations occur 48 hours before the class time in DSE. However, if you desire a more competitive activity, the powerlifting team has released their tryout form. They have an intense training program featuring squats and deadlifts.
Arts and Technical Activities
If athletics aren’t your cup of tea, you could join RedShift, Stevens’ digital publication club. Every semester, they hold showcases featuring a large variety of art from writing, music, and performance art. On a related note, feel free to join The Stute. It’s a great chance to learn a variety of different skills, including journalism, layout, and photography. Meetings happen on Tuesdays, and no prior experience is required!
Another fun club to get yourself out there is the Fashion Association for Marketing & Entrepreneurship (FAME). They host various events, from fashion shows to photoshoots. You can be a part of their editorial team by becoming a model, videographer, stylist, and more. Furthermore, the Stevens Dramatic Society is hosting auditions for Into the Woods at the Skyline Suite in Howe Center. Those auditions are happening on January 31 and February 1!
If you are looking for one-off events, the Entertainment Committee has released their events for the spring semester. The next event, Puppy Yoga, is on February 1 from 4 to 5:15 p.m. at Bissinger. Moreover, they recently updated their policies regarding sign-ups. Instead of first-come, first-serve, ticket recipients will be selected via a lottery.
Remember to check DuckLink for any upcoming events or club meetings. Even if nothing on campus interests you, there are always events and activities nearby to try out. Check out Hoboken Girl for local news around Hoboken and Jersey City, and keep an eye out for various shops that will open up this year. The new semester just started, so get out there, try something new, and make the most out of 2025!
