Student Clubs and Activities
Urban currently has more than 40 different student clubs, ranging from the school newspaper and Model United Nations to the Students of Color and Environmental Clubs. New students are strongly encouraged to get involved in club activities and new clubs may be established by students if there is sufficient interest.
Students and faculty also plan a variety of special activities for the whole community. Spirit Week is run by the student government and includes special activities, theme days and the all-school barbecue. The annual winter festival, organized by students, provides a chance for the school community to relax and play together. Additionally, through the Multicultural Program, faculty and students explore issues of racial, ethnic, religious and socio-economic difference throughout the year.
