Student organizations at SMFA and Tufts serve both educational and social functions, giving students the opportunity to engage with others, develop valuable collaboration and leadership skills, build meaningful connections and friendships, and have a lot of fun!

Our students come together on political and cultural issues, as well as individual interests. Some of our most popular student groups are:

  • SMFA Student Government Association
  • The Animation Club
  • SMFA Artists of Color Union
  • Horror Club
  • Knitting Club
  • Performance Club
  • Punk Farmer's Union
  • Skate Sculpture Club
  • SMFA Yoga Club

In addition to SMFA-based groups and clubs, our students are also active in the over 300 Tufts student organizations supported by Tufts Office of Campus Life.
