Involvement in student activities at university is an important component of student life. AUD's American educational philosophy stresses a well-rounded student experience. Participation in AUD's student clubs and organizations is just one way that students can become involved in university life.

Through club involvement, students strengthen their socialization, team-building, leadership, event planning and organizational skills. Membership in student clubs and organizations also enables students to make new friends and share mutual interests with fellow students. The memories created on campus, through activities, is an essential part of the holistic development of a university student. The Office of Student Activities aims to create and offer those opportunities for AUD students.

The Student Activities Coordinator, with assistance from the Student Government Association, creates and plans numerous activities for students throughout the year. These activities, designed to be social and cultural, include desert safaris, dhow trips, guest lectures, dinners, international celebrations, plays, music nights and other events. AUD-sponsored activities introduce students to many of the diverse social and cultural events held in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates.

Students at AUD are team workers, leaders, artists, activists, performers, adventurists and innovators. They literally come together from all over the world. Student run clubs and organizations host a wide range of activities which become an integral part of the university life of every student at AUD.

So whether you want to travel to Greece next spring break, fundraise for children in Cameroon, go on a dhow trip, do a dance routine for International night or simply enjoy a day at the carnival – chances are you’ll find an activity here to match your interests.

The Office of Student Activities is here to facilitate programs and events on campus through offering support and guidance to all clubs and organizations. We encourage you to visit our office to familiarize yourself with policies and procedures that will help make your endeavors a success!
