New Rochelle, N.Y. - Iona University now boasts over 100 student clubs and organizations, marking an exciting time in student life. Rooted in the mission to develop students holistically - mind, body and spirit - Iona offers myriad ways for students to get involved, connect with peers and grow as leaders.

Whether it's the Student Government Association, cultural organizations, Greek life or theatre, there's a place for everyone. Iona also continues to grow its roster of Club Sports and Performing Arts programs, building upon the momentum and proving why The Wall Street Journal recognized Iona as one of the top 25 colleges in the nation for student experience in its 2025 “Best Colleges in the U.S.”

“The best way to fully experience an Iona education is to be involved with the life of the University outside of the classroom. Our wide array of clubs and organizations are an excellent way to do that,” said Joel Quintong, dean of students. “It's more than simply belonging to something. Through participation in clubs and orgs, students explore their passions, build leadership skills, and have fun with their friends. We are proud of what we have to offer to all students and are confident there is something for everyone."

Prospective students can be among the first to apply when applications open August 1! We aim to make Iona’s application process easy and accessible to all prospective students. To waive the $50 application fee, use the code Iona30 on the Common Application.
