As the development of the well-rounded individual is a principal goal of extracurricular activities on college, the numerous experiences these activities afford positively impact students’ emotional, intellectual, social, and inter-personal development.
Taking part in these out-of-the-classroom activities helps students to understand the importance of critical thinking skills, time management, and academic and intellectual competence. Extracurricular involvement allows students to link academic knowledge with practical experience, thereby leading to a better understanding of their own abilities, talents, and career goals.
