Information:
 Wells
students govern much of their own collegiate life, and they organize many
social activities with administrative support from the Office of Campus
Involvement. Thus the social life on campus is as varied as the composition
of the student body. The crowded calendar (https://global.wells.edu/ics/)
includes events ranging from dances, musicians, and comedians to kayaking
and canoeing, semiformal events, and long standing traditions. Additional
social interaction takes place among Wells College students with nearby
colleges and universities and at other local areas of interest. The choices
are many and diverse -- the decision of when and how frequently to participate
is entirely up to you!
 There
are over 40 different clubs and organizations in existence on campus. There
are categories of groups to suite just about every area of interest, including
but not limited to: Educational, Social, Activism, Performance and General
Interest. For a complete list of current clubs and organizations click
here or check out the Globe (https://global.wells.edu/ics/Students/Campus_Involvement.jnz).
Traditions have also been an important part of Wells College since the
turn of the century and still play an integral role in campus life today.
These traditions were established to promote a sense of community. See
the listing of Wells traditions for more information.
Religious Life:
The College Chaplain
plans and leads religious activities on campus. He is available to students,
