Student Involvement
You are more than a student and the classes you take at Touro Nevada. Participate in student-led organizations or serve on university committees to enhance your experience. Build life-long peer and professional relationships initiated and inspired by you.
Enrich your extracurricular life, take part in student-led events, and make new connections when you get involved at Touro Nevada. You will meet your fellow students outside of the classroom during intramurals, seminars, lectures, debates, dinners, banquets, trips, student government, and student groups. Blood drives, sporting events, mixers, and fundraisers are just a few ways to participate during your time here.
Plan an event customized by you by reaching out to your faculty advisor and the Office of Student Involvement.
