Go above and beyond
Take it "beyond the classroom" and join one of our 14 student clubs. Here you will experience community service, business skills and leadership opportunities. You will have an opportunity to participate in public service at some point during your studies at USIU. The USIU Community Service initiative links together community groups that aid children, the elderly, homeless, disabled, and other marginalized members of our society. Of particular significance in 2008 was USIU's involvement in giving assistance to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Kenya, following the post election skirmishes that rocked parts of the country early in the year. These activities help you to gain skills that  give you an edge after graduation and help you be a contributor and a leader anywhere in the world.
