Organization Directory

Welcome to the Student Organization Directory!

With more than 180 student clubs and organizations, there truly is something for everyone at SUNY Geneseo.

A college-registered Student Organization is any student-driven group whose primary membership and entire leadership consists of students enrolled at SUNY Geneseo; is formed in order to contribute to the students' personal development and the advancement of the College Mission; is non-credit bearing; and is officially registered with the Department of Student Life.

Full registration does not imply college endorsement of the positions and views of any organization. Rather, it implies that the institution accepts the organization’s mission as educationally valid and that the organization has complied with institutional registration and continuing registration procedures. 

Full registration with the College does not permit the organization to act in the name of the university, to represent the university, engage in any contractual obligation in the name of the university, nor represent the organization as being an official part of the university.

Psychology Club

The purpose of this organization is to perform three functions. Our first function is to provide information to undergraduates about important research or internship opportunities within the department and to explain the road-map to achieving the major. The volunteering function is to help students become more involved in the community and promote psychology-related programs on campus. Our last function is to provide academic activities such as colloquiums and speakers for the students that they would not ordinarily receive in the classroom.

The Speaking Project

We have weekly meetings where one individual will give a major speech/presentation and be evaluated by a peer. We then discuss the evaluation in order to point out things the speaker did well, whether the answered the prompt, and what are some things they could work on. We aim to have a safe and comfortable environment where the speaker has the opportunity to grow and prosper in public speaking. No individual is forced to do a major speech if they do not want to. They are more than welcome to just come sit and listen to the advise that is given.

American Cancer Society on Campus

We work with the American Cancer Society directly to raise money, awareness, and volunteer to help spread their mission as well as create a community to fight back against cancer. We organize many events throughout the year not only only to raise money but to raise awareness for different cancers. Some events are our Pink Tie event, breast cancer walk, and breast week ever for October breast cancer month. We also organize and put on Geneseo's Relay For Life each year and raise thousands of dollars. It is also a way to create community and work towards making a difference for good.

Optometry Club

Optometry Club’s members learn to reduce barriers to care by serving as advocates for community members. Students will educate community members about the importance of receiving regular eye exams to improve overall eye health. Members provide free vision screenings to community members each semester as time permits. While performing a vision screening, members must indicate that they are student volunteers, and that the screening just gives an estimate of the community member’s visual acuity (it is not an eye exam). Members of Optometry Club should encourage the community members present at the screening to see an eye care professional for a complete eye exam. Optometry Club will also fundraise for various eye care organizations and hold a used eyeglass drive.

Japanese Culture Club at Suny Geneseo
