Student Involvement

Office of Student Involvement & Leadership
Express Yourself.  Get Involved.

We are your key resource for identifying involvement opportunities on and off-campus.  We provide student engagement and leadership-related campus services and programs.  We encouage student involvement through co-curricular opportunities of student organizations, intramurals, and civic engagement.


Clubs and Organizations

BFIT focuses on students’ personal growth and development through clubs and organizations offered each year. Student organizations are designed to promote and develop leadership and socialization skills through active engagement at the college and local community. While student organizations are voluntary and open to the BFIT community, some require students to meet eligibility requirements based on prior scholastic and demonstration of leadership.

Students interested in starting a new club on campus should make an appointment to meet with the Director of Student Services. Students should be prepared to submit a one-page proposal stating the mission of the club, prospective members and an approximate budget.

Student Activities and Recreation

Students are highly encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities and events offered to develop students’ physical and mental abilities. All new students take part in the First-Year Experience (FYE), a comprehensive program that serves as an orientation to campus and the essential ingredients for success as a BFIT student. FYE serves as a graduation requirement for all two-year programs.

A highlight of each year is the Technology Olympics. Held in March, student and faculty teams face off in a variety of competitions loosely connected to BFIT majors. The student team champion receives individual trophies and has their team name engraved on the official Technology Olympics trophy displayed at the college.

Intramural athletic competitions take place each semester. Comprised of individual and team competition past tournaments have included 3 on 3 basketball, pool, ping pong and flag football.Other events include the Dean’s List Luncheon, Multicultural Holiday Event, Talent Show and Spring Carnival.
