Student Life
Student Life at Aurora University is, in a word, transforming. AU is committed to creating a culture on campus where you feel included, involved and connected. You can listen to bands on the grassy Quad at the center of campus. Participate in tug-o-war during Bragging Rights Week. Sing your heart out on Karaoke Night. Work out at the fitness center in Jenks Hall.

Organizations
Through our more than 60 musical, literary, religious, social and service organizations, you’ll find an outlet for your energy and talents. Whether you build on your theatre skills through The Actor's and Playwright's Society (TAPS), explore your interest in psychology through the Psychology Club, or bring educational programs to the community through Colleges Against Cancer, you’ll quickly realize all the ways your involvement is helping to shape you.
Athletics
If you love sports, AU is the place to be — whether you’re participating or cheering from the stands. AU boasts 18 NCAA Division III athletic teams who have a tradition of winning (in fact, AU has snagged 44 conference titles in recent years and 25 appearances in national tournaments).
Intramurals
Maybe your competitive days are behind you — but you still love to play. When you join one of AU’s intramural competitions, you’ll be able to fuel your athletic passions (and truth be told, it can be pretty competitive after all). From badminton to volleyball, you’ll find your favorite activity — or develop a new interest. Either way, you’ll have plenty of fun (and exercise)!
Leadership Opportunities
If leadership is more your style, consider the Aurora University Student Association, the university’s student governing body. Or become a resident assistant, peer advisor, or part of the Activities Programming Board. AU has dozens of leadership opportunities, all aimed at helping you develop your leadership abilities.
George Williams College Campus
At George Williams College, you can enjoy a myriad of recreational activities. Relax on the marina. Play a round of golf on our 18-hole golf course. Stick around and enjoy the Music by the Lake summer music festival staged each summer near the lakeshore. Take in the living museum at Beasley Campus Center. With its location, nestled along the banks of Geneva Lake, you’ll feel an immediate connection to this breathtaking campus.
