Most of our students live near campus, many within walking distance. Located in the Los Angeles (LA) area in Southern California, the variety of events taking place at the Claremont Colleges and around the Los Angeles basin give students a tremendous range of social, cultural and sports activities from which to choose.

The Drucker School prides itself on its diverse, talented and proactive student population. Drawn from a pool of exceptional candidates, Drucker MBA students have a wide range of interests.

Leisure Activities
Students at the Drucker School have access to the facilities of the Claremont University Consortium. Students enjoy sports like swimming, tennis, basketball, racquetball, soccer, and squash or working out in the gym. Locations for skiing, hiking, biking in the mountains, or swimming and surfing in the Pacific Ocean are all within an hour drive of campus.  In addition, Claremont’s proximity to downtown Los Angeles affords students the opportunity to explore one of the most culturally diverse cities in the United States.

Student Organizations
There are a variety of student clubs on campus that provide students with opportunities to apply the tools learned in the classroom to real world situations, while having fun.   

The Drucker School Student Association (DSSA)
The DSSA is the primary student organization of the School, serving as a liaison between the administration and the students.  The main goal of the DSSA is to organize activities that benefit the students by enhancing student, faculty, alumni, and community relations.  Town hall meetings are held bi-monthly to give students a chance to hear from the administration, to share new ideas, and to discuss concerns.  The DSSA encourages all students to attend these meetings and to get involved as much as possible to make the most of their Drucker experience.

Net Impact
Originally founded as Students for Responsible Business in 1993, Net Impact is a network of business leaders in a unique position to influence what happens in society for years to come.  With this power comes monumental responsibility.  We can choose to ignore this responsiblity, and thereby exacerbate problems such as economic inequality, environmental degredation, and social injustice - problems that will compromise our ability to do business in the long run.  Or, as business leaders, we can realize our potential to create lasting social change.  For more information go to www.netimpact.org
