Clubs, Events and Fundraising Forms

Leadership Program.

If you’re interested in leadership development, and personal growth, development and accountability, consider Villa’s leadership program. This program is a six-week, non-credit bearing class that is open to anyone. You must be nominated by a faculty member, staff member, fellow student or any other member of the Villa community to qualify for the class.

Events & Celebrations.

Whether it’s educational, cultural or just for fun, Student Life is always hosting free or low-cost events that are open to all Villa students. Some of the most popular events include: Welcome Week, Spring Fest, Holiday Parties, Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, Native American History Month, Breast Cancer Awareness Month and more.

Villa on the Go!

Each month, all students are invited to gather at an off campus location to explore Buffalo and get to know one another outside of Villa. These events are little to no cost for students. This semester’s events include a trip to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, a group movie outing and ice skating at Canalside.
