Student Engagement & Orientation
The Office of Student Engagement believes that a vital part of the education process at Misericordia University is involvement in student clubs/organizations and co-curricular activities. Participation in activities where leadership, community responsibility, intellectual and social interests can be met both enriches and completes a college education. Students are encouraged to assist with the continued development of Misericordia's programs and services through active involvement in student organizations and activities.

The David A. Evans Memorial Color Run is held each year in April on the campus of Misericordia University in honor of David Evans, Jr. who died April 11, 2014. The 5K color run is sponsored by the MU Student Government with all proceeds going to the David A. Evans, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund at Holy Redeemer High School in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Each year, graduating seniors at Holy Redeemer who have enrolled as an incoming freshmen at Misericordia University are given the opportunity to apply for the scholarship fund. The color run is open to all ages on campus and our local communities.
SOAR offers a wide variety of activities that range from a quiet walk in the woods to an exciting day of rock climbing. The challenges faced in a supportive setting can serve as an escape from the stresses of student life or help to overcome fears and limitations. Its challenging activities can serve as metaphors for the difficulties faced by every college student. SOAR provides another opportunity for the College Community to gain a unique, educational experience in a wilderness setting. In these instances, students develop skills that can apply to any situation they may encounter in the future.
Misericordia's Student Government Association (SGA) is a student-run, student-elected executive board which represents the students at Misericordia University. Student Government also is the governing body of the various clubs on campus and keeps records of each club's activities. The Student Government Association also helps to run various activities on campus in conjunction with Student Engagement. The executive board helps to run events
