With the start of a new year, Woodcrest is buzzing with fresh energy as classes resume and clubs begin to pick back up. Whether you are looking to expand your academic knowledge, stay active through sports, or connect with others who share your interests, there is something for everyone this season. Below is a guide to the current classes, sports, and clubs available at Woodcrest.

Staying active is easy with Woodcrest’s range of sports and fitness classes.

Clubs and Community
There are currently two clubs available for students looking to connect outside the classroom. The Poetry Club, Shakespeare’s Regret, meets every third Thursday of the month at 6 p.m. at the Campus Starpugs and is hosted by Allie and Griselda. Book lovers can join the Book Club, which meets every second and fourth Sunday of the month at 2 p.m. at the London Dock Starpugs.
Getting Involved
If you are interested in joining any of these classes, sports, or clubs, simply drop in on the days they are scheduled. Please note that Performance Art and Cheer both require tryouts. Don’t be intimidated—just reach out to the Performance Art instructor or one of the Cheer captains, and they will help you get started.
For those interested in teaching a class, starting a club, or leading a sport, applications are available at the Admissions Office, and someone will be in touch with you soon.
With so many opportunities available, the new year at Woodcrest is the perfect time to try something new, meet new people, and make the most of campus life.
