CAMPUS LIFE

ACTIVITIES & CLUBS

Yes, Henry Ford Community College is a commuter school. And even though your student won’t be living on campus 24/7, he or she will still find plenty of opportunities to become involved in campus activities. From the art of ice-carving to astronomy there are clubs for a variety of hobbies and interests.

There’s a club for students pursing degrees in criminal justice and related careers, clubs promoting community service, a pom squad, a film club and a philosophy club.

See all of the clubs at  Campus Life and Clubs.
