Club Activities
The first club established at NTNU was the Peking Opera Study Society in 1949. The drama club and the wind ensemble were founded in 1950. In subsequent years, the numbers of clubs and societies have steadily increased. Today, there are 127 clubs and societies in total. Their diverse and educational activities can be grouped into four categories:
1. Enrichment of the mind with an emphasis on research, continuing cultural legacies, and promoting appropriate faith traditions;
2. Improving quality of life through enjoying interests and hobbies and cultivating beneficial life values;
3. Promotion of suitable recreational activities that strengthen the body as well as build a spirit of cooperation and teamwork;
4. Service to society, care for minority groups, promotion of conservation and ecology. Furthermore, NTNU clubs and societies use summer and winter vacations to participate in activities and performances nationwide and even overseas, provide community service and voluntary work, or conduct research and studies. They fully express the spirit of giving back to society.
