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.

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. For more information, see Student Clubs.

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. For more information about the DSSA go to dssa.cgu.edu.

CGU Graduate Student Council

The Graduate Student Council (GSC) consists of four elected officers. In addition, there are representatives who are elected, appointed or volunteer from various academic programs and departments.  The GSC is concerned with promoting the welfare and concerns of the graduate student body and communicating with CGU faculty and administration on behalf of the graduate students.  We also sponsor social and cultural events throughout the entire year to help improve the quality of life for graduate students.

Minority Mentor Program (MMP)

CGU developed the Minority Mentor Program (MMP) as part of its commitment to improve the retention of underrepresented students.  The MMP is one of CGU's systematic efforts aimed at ensuring that its leadership, faculty, staff, and students stay connected while embracing new ideas, perspectives, and solutions to real-world problems.  Since MMP's founding, more than 2,000 students have participated in the program and its activities. www.cgu.edu/pages/1454.asp
