THE SOCIOLOGY CLUB
at The University of Southern Mississippi

The Sociology Club at the University of Southern Mississippi was created in April 1998 to provide interested students with a forum for extracurricular activities related to sociology. These extracurricular activities focus on education, community service, professional development, and social activities.  If you would like to read more details about each of these four areas, please read our club mission. Below, we answer some common questions about the Sociology Club.


Common Questions

WHO CAN JOIN THE SOCIOLOGY CLUB?

     Anyone interested! You don't have to be a sociology major or minor.
HOW DO I BECOME A MEMBER?
    Fill out the brief membership form and pay your dues. The membership forms are available at the meetings or in the department office, LAB 428.  After you fill out the form, turn it in to Petra Lamb, the department secretary, or to any sociology instructor. The dues for club membership are $5 a semester.
WILL THE CLUB TAKE A LOT OF MY TIME?
    Not at all. The extent of your involvement is completely up to you. We will have several meetings a semester and will sponsor a variety of activities, but you may choose which you wish to participate in and which you don't.  Some students will be officers who take leadership positions and need to donate more time to the club than others, but most students will spend only a few hours a semester in Sociology Club activities.
WHY SHOULD I JOIN?
    The Sociology Club will give you the chance to get to know other students and sociology faculty members and will provide you with the chance to participate in a wide variety of activities. While you are a student it is important to become involved in organizations, and employers will want to see in the future that you were an involved student. The club will give you the opportunity not only to be active in a student group but also to develop skills (like leading a meeting or locating and inviting a guest speaker) that will be useful in other areas of your life.
