Getting involved on campus is a great way for college students to stay busy and have fun outside of class. It is also a great chance to meet new people and improve personal skills and development. The college experience can be more than just attending class and trying to get a degree. There are many activities at Idaho State University such as joining a club, going to sporting events, checking out the activities board, and much more. A few of these activities are listed below.

At Stephens Performing Arts Center, you can attend a wide variety of events such as plays, music and dance concerts, fundraisers, and more. Most of the events there do require a cost, but it is still fairly cheap for students.
The Craft Shop
The Craft Shop is a great place for students who are creative and love creating art. They have a wood shop, clay studio and areas setup for sewing, tie dying, stained glass, silk painting, mat cutting for photos, paper cutting and working with fibers and leather. Workshops are also available and taught by local artists and craftspeople who have practiced it for years. Some workshops are designed for kids ages 8 and up as well. The Craft Shop is located on the lower level of the Pond Student Union Building. Head down the hallway past the Games Center. It's the last door on the left. You can visit their website to find out when classes are held.
