Student Clubs and Activities:
DeVry Sherman Oaks has a
strong program of co-curricular (outside of the classroom)
activities that offer students a chance to expand their educational
experiences into one that reaches "beyond the classroom" setting.
By combining theoretical lessons learned in the classroom with

enhance their sense of identity and gain the skills that will
enable them to move in and deal with an increasingly complex
world.
The Welcome Event, which is held the second week
of each summer term, is a great way to introduce yourself to
existing clubs on campus. Existing clubs are involved with
academics, sports, and social issues. Some of are existing clubs
include:
Games and Anime
As many would know, movies and live theatre are better seen when
you're not alone! The weekly objectives of this club will be to
talk about Japanese animation, as well as trading and borrowing
videos from each other. Weekly screenings of Anime, LAN and video game tournaments will be organized
throughout the trimester. Other club objectives include trips to
local and statewide Anime conventions and the design of our own
Video Games.
