Being a Lope means being a member of a dedicated, enthusiastic and kind family of students and faculty while attending GCU and beyond. CAB plans most of the events and activities throughout the year to help you get involved, make new friends and get to know the GCU campus community. We are focused on one thing – we turn students into Lopes for Life!
GCU student clubs and organizations give you the opportunity to get involved, give back to your community and meet other students who share similar passions and academic interests. Explore our professional student organizations and social clubs to learn more about how you can get involved on campus.
Interested in getting involved on campus? We have plenty of events to help you get to know future Lopes and explore our campus community. Take a look at our calendar of events for more information.
Commuters make up a large portion of our vibrant campus community. As a commuter, you can still enjoy many of the features and benefits of our campus, including student-only events on campus, special commuter events and more.

The Office of Student Engagement is home to several groups on campus, including Associated Students of Grand Canyon University (ASGCU), Canyon Activities Board (CAB), student clubs, Commuter Life, GCU Engage, Multicultural Office, Army ROTC, Thunderground and The Riverbed. Our mission is to help you engage in your community, develop as student leaders who invest in the lives of others and build authentic relationships. During your time at GCU, you have the opportunity to discover your purpose, develop your gifts and deploy your service.
ASGCU is GCU’s student government, representing and serving the student body in pursuit of academic success, personal excellence and spirituality. Through representation and a variety of programs, events, services and outreach opportunities, ASGCU's central focus is to build community and help you feel connected on GCU's campus.
