Dee

Ambassadors and Leaders

Anibal

The most popular activities are the Discussion, and the fun part is 24/7. Other cool is the fraternities are prestige to be there. In campus there student launch and other activities.

Linda

This is a tough question. Online learning is different from being on campus so there are not really activities or groups like you would have on campus.

One nice benefit to on line schooling is there are no popular kids, no bullies, no jocks, no stoners etc... We are all students at Kaplan University. We are just everyday people with jobs and family obligations who desire to learn at our own pace and in our own way. We choose the environment where we study and are responsible for our own successes. We simply go to school while living our everyday lives. We have guest speakers in our classrooms on occasion. On Sundays the Science Department has "Science Sundays" on a variety of topics with impressive guest speakers. We also have a variety of departments that do writing workshops as well as a Math & Writing Centers.

This university does not have any clicks or popular activities or groups. I am in a couple of groups, the educators club, and two honors groups. This is not a traditional university. Everything you do you do on-line.

Michelle

Students at Kaplan strive to make the President's List and Dean's List. The honors societies are also popular. There are also different clubs and others programs available to students; but I unfortunately do not have the time to participate in any of those. Since we are an online school, sports teams aren't exactly a factor. But there are plenty of other activities to get involved in.

To me the most popular activity to me is the KAUSE , and KUACM for IT Professionals, you hear seminars and attend the Webinars that offered.

SHELLIA

I believe the most popular group for our online campus would be the honor society. There are also groups for Information technolgy where they offer what they call techie thursday where we meet in an adobe connect room and learn about the latest technology available. Since I am not on campus I could not answer the rest of the questions. What I do when not studying is read , take my three dogs for a walk or visit family.

Kaplan's student life program is growing.. While attending my first year, I had already received an invitation to join the American Criminal Justice Association, after that I have attained memberships through Alpha Phi Sigma and the National Society of Colliegate Scholars. Each one has their own activities and events, the only problem that I have with it, is everyone is spread out accross the US. It would be nice to be able to get together to do some community service projects with other members. I just recently was nominated through the National Society of Collegiate Scholars to participate in an international program during the summer of 2012, as I was saying each program has their own benefits and I am proud to be a member of each. Kaplan is really working hard on their student life program to enhance each students experience..

Starting answering!Here at Kaplan we have numerous group as well as various Honors Society. Furthermore, in dealing with learning we have labs such as the Math labs and Science Lab. A few other outstanding benefits include our Writing Center as well as our Library. We even a website where we can discounts on computer supplies as well as other supplies one may need for school. We have contest for students to win things. Overall, we are not a party school however if one wants to have a beer while being in a seminar I suppose it would be perfectly legal. However, in saying that I do not believe Kaplan supports drinking while doing schoolwork. Furthermore, it is illegal for minors. Nevertheless, if one does party on their time as long as no laws are broke then all is okay. We certainly want individuals to enjoy their self, However Kaplan has many activities where drinking is not a part of that I think many would enjoy.

A lot of people that attend Kaplan are in either a group or honor society. With me I am in Ambassadors and Leaders Group where I pledge to help my fellow student and others in need. With Ambassadors and Leaders I also have a pen pal in third grade that I mentor and do my part to teach him about literacy. I am also a part of The National Society of Collegiate Scholars. They help me out with great information for scholarships and are a great support system. And last but not least I will be joining the Alpha Beta Kappa Honor society.

Karla

I am a member of the OWLS club. It is one of the best clubs in the world, We write to soldiers. We write emails to children that send letters to santa. We offer support groups and we hold contests and we are really more of a family than a club.

I am involved with the National Collegiate Scholars Society (NCSS) and I love the opportunities that are there as a member that can help you excel. I have befriended some of my class mates and I am proud to say that we still talk to this day months after our last class together.

Dalen

I am not sure about this question. I have just recently joined NSCS and trying to get the hang of it. So far it is a great group and therre are many people in this organization. The group president for Kaplan has been great and so have the counselors. I have recieved many different letters from organizations at Kaplan, I just haven't had the time to do to much with others. Kaplan does offer a variety of helpful organizations though.

Shelby

Honestly I do not know because I am too busy with my own schedule to look and see what is the most popular group or activity. We are in college and popularity is not an issue.

Stephanie

There are activities and groups but you must keep in mind that Kaplan University in an online school therefore, these groups are online as well.

Carinn

Since we are taking online courses, students engage in normal activities. I have made an effort to be involved in a few honor societies, but most of my activities revolve around my family and work. This is one area where students could feel like they are missing out. But for me I experienced this during my under graduate. The great thing about attending a school from anywhere, is that you don't feel obligated to participate in activities that could hinder your academic performance.
