Clubs & Organizations

Just as the academic and athletic programs are strong and robust, Cadets are also encouraged to explore their talents and interests beyond the classroom through participation in clubs and other extracurricular activities. These allow students to broaden their leadership opportunities, and to develop relationships with other students and with mentor faculty members that enrich the BC experience. There are numerous clubs and volunteer organizations throughout our campus, some that have long been part of the BC program, and others that develop depending on student interests and leadership.

Because we strongly encourage comprehensive involvement in our program, the scope of these clubs and organizations is limited only by the imagination and initiative of our students, who create and work for them. Robotics and Mock Trial, for example, are popular, new additions to the BC afternoon program, while the Math Team and Model United Nations have been part of the Cadet experience for decades.

• Chess Club allows Cadets to strengthen their brotherhood while matching wits.
• Chorus lets students grow and enjoy their musical and performance interests.
• Fellowship of Benedictine Cadets touches millions of lives ... one heart at a time. Since 1954, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has been challenging coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high and youth levels to use the powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ. FCA is the largest Christian sports organization in America. FCA focuses on serving local communities by equipping, empowering and encouraging people to make a difference for Christ. Here at BC, we have the FBC, the Fellowship of Benedictine Cadets.
