Most of the students are members of multiple organizations and have a leadership position in at least one. Clubs in IST give students opportunities for expanding their skills outside the classroom, which is rivaled only by real life work experience. Being a member of the clubs gives you a leg up because our companies’ first stop to recruit are the clubs because they want involved students.” —Adam Stavely, ’14 IST, 2012 Student Government president
