The main purpose of African Dance Club is to establish cultural exchanges among all students, by celebrating and educating them about Africa and African peoples' rich culture. We also examine the influence of African culture on the Americas and the world. African Dance Club raises the awareness of dance as a tool to facilitate the health and well-being of our students. African Dance Club makes the joy and heritage of African, dance, song and rhythm available to ALL, and disestablishes stereotypes concerning both American and “black” dancing bodies. Dance is from the people and by the people and must be given back to the people.

The Hutch Tech Bike Club rides Tuesdays and Thursdays while the weather is good, in fall and spring. We ride city streets, trying to ride where there are bike lanes as much as possible. Our focus is safe riding - riding in a straight line, being a predictable rider for cars, using hand signals, obeying stop signs and traffic lights as cars do. During the winter months we still meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, but our focus moves to bike repairs - fixing flats, repairing and replacing brake pads and brake cables as well as gear cables.

It is a safe space for students to learn about sexual orientation, gender identity, and related issues. It also provides a supportive environment for students to socialize, find community, and receive support. GSAs can participate in community service projects, awareness activities, and other events. GSAs are inclusive, open to everyone, including students who are questioning their identity, have LGBT friends or family, or just care about LGBT issues.
