32 Graduate Catalog 2010-2012 Facilities and Services Student Activities The co-curricular life of the university centers on activities sponsored primarily through the Office of Student Activities and the student clubs and organizations on campus. Students pay a mandatory student activities fee at both the graduate and undergraduate levels; members of the Undergraduate Student Senate and the Graduate Student Assembly work closely with the professional staff at Student Activities to create a wealth of activities throughout the year. The Office of Student Activities functions as a clearinghouse and focal point of activity for students on campus, where information and services are available, ranging from the issuing of ID cards, to renting lockers, to the most up-to-date listing of student organizations and activities. The office also oversees the operations of such services as the campus game room, where students relax with video games, pool tables, and pinball machines. The Student Arts and Events Council provides the campus community with a variety of cultural offerings, including the museum pass program, discount tickets to movies and plays, and on-campus performances and lectures. The student-run Harbor Art Gallery is located on the first floor of McCormack Hall, and the Student Arts and Events Council is located on the second floor of the Campus Center. Students keep in touch with campus life by reading the student newspaper, The Mass Media. The annual spring literary journal, The Watermark, features the best work produced by student artists and writers. The yearbook, The Beacon, provides opportunities for student writers and photographers to contribute to this annual publication. Offices for the student media are located on the third floor of the Campus Center. To become involved with recognized student organizations or clubs, go to www.clubs.umb.edu.
