College is much more than just academics. The invaluable experiences gained through co-curricular activities cannot just be delivered in the classroom alone. The term “co-curricular” replaced the previously used term “extra-curricular” to emphasize that your involvement outside the classroom goes hand in hand with your classroom academics!
Raider Life strives to cultivate a campus environment that promotes equity, opportunities for all students to participate in extracurricular activities, and the environment for each student to learn and practice essential skills needed after college life. Raider Life provides support to students, student organizations, community service projects, and community activities that may enhance the quality of educational life for students. Raider Life also provides social and cultural enrichment opportunities in Okaloosa and Walton counties.
