Student Activities
Within the context of its mission, the Office of Student Services oversees a variety of student-managed activities, which offer students opportunities to become involved with programs that enhance their professional and social lives. These include:
Intercollegiate Sports
The intercollegiate sports program at BFIT offers Men’s Varsity Soccer and Basketball. BFIT has active membership in the National Junior College Athletic Association, Division III. Both sports provide for regular season competition with an opportunity to qualify for post-season play at the regional and national levels. All students who meet eligibility standards set forth by NJCAA and the Institute are welcome to try out. All members of the BFIT community are encouraged to come out and support our SHOCKERS!
Intramural Sports
All students have the opportunity to participate in recreational activities throughout the school year. Students sign up on a voluntary basis competing with and against peers of the Institute. The Director of Student Services coordinates and oversees league and tournament play. Awards are presented annually to the top finishers in each sport.
Student Government
Students attending BFIT are encouraged to join the Student Government Association (SGA). The SGA is active in organizing events such as the holiday toy drive, talent show, year-end carnival, and other activities. SGA members also develop ideas and discuss concerns with the Director of Student Services to enhance the BFIT community for all students.
Women’s Forum
Women who attend the Institute are encouraged to join the Women’s Forum. The goal of the group is to bring the women who study or work on campus together to help balance out the experience of being in an academic setting with a high percentage of male students and faculty. Forum activities have included guest speakers, workshops, special events, and service projects.
E-Yearbook
Members of the yearbook club will have an opportunity to catch the year’s great moments on film, work closely with staff on the layout, and produce a great gift for each graduating class to treasure. It is produced using current technology in a ready-to-run DVD!
Engineering Technology Olympics
A highlight of each academic year is the Technology Olympics. Students, faculty, and staff form teams and compete against one another in a daylong series of events. Events are geared toward majors offered at the Institute. The competition culminates with an awards ceremony celebrating the top finishers. The champions have their team name engraved on the official Technology Olympics trophy displayed in the Institute’s trophy case.
Phi Theta Kappa
All students will have an opportunity to join an international honor society at BFIT. Students will need to have a cumulative grade point average of 3.35, or higher, for membership. There will be an induction ceremony for new members each year. Members will conduct meetings on campus and focus on projects that involve volunteering in the community. There is a membership fee for active members of the honor society.
