Hey there, Sunbirds!

Sunny here—and if you’re dreaming of a college experience filled with connection, creativity and plenty of unforgettable moments, you’ve landed in just the right place. Fresno Pacific University is where community takes flight, and one of the best ways to jump right in is by joining a student club.

At FPU, clubs help you meet new friends, try out interests you never knew you had and feel right at home from day one. Trust me—I’ve met a lot of students over the years, and the ones who get involved always find their people faster than they expect!

A Club for Every Kind of Sunbird

No matter what you’re into, there’s probably a club calling your name. Golf fans can tee off with Birdies & Bogeys, and adventure-seekers who like chalked hands and high climbs will feel right at home in the FPU Climbing Club. Music lovers can join the FPU Mariachi Club—beginners and pros both welcome! Artists and writers can create and connect with Glass House, while outdoor explorers can hit the trails with the Wilderness Club. And if academics get you excited, groups like the Nursing Club and Kinesiology Club offer support, networking and a community that understands your path.

Spaces That Celebrate Culture and Community

Some of the most meaningful friendships grow in spaces where students can share identity, culture and faith. Monarca: Latinx Student Union, Rooted: Black Student Union and Haven offer supportive communities where students can celebrate who they are and uplift one another. Faith-based clubs like Abide, Catholic Gatherings, Fellaship and Fellowship of Christian Athletes welcome anyone looking to grow spiritually while building lasting relationships. These groups bring so much heart to campus—and I love seeing the way they shape our community.

Grow Skills While You Have Fun

Here’s a little insider tip from your pal Sunny: joining a club isn’t just fun—it’s a powerful way to grow. Whether you’re planning events, helping fellow students or simply trying something new, you’ll build leadership, teamwork and communication skills that stick with you long after graduation. It’s amazing what a single club meeting can spark.

Your Community Is Waiting

Life at FPU is about so much more than classes and assignments. It’s about finding people who cheer you on, exploring the passions that light you up and becoming part of a community that truly feels like family. And if you don’t see a club that fits your interests? No worries—you can always start one. (I’ve seen some pretty creative ideas take off!)

So why wait? Jump into campus life, meet your people and make the most of your college adventure at Fresno Pacific University. Your next favorite club is already waiting to welcome you—and I’ll be cheering you on every step of the way!
