Mission
As a team we encourage student development in the realms of public speaking, research, and peer discussion/debate. Through debate, students engage with both sides of the argument/topic (pro/con, aff/neg); allowing students to do so enables them to think and interact with concepts outside of their comfort zone, this is what ensures our members as well rounded people and open minded thinkers. Model United Nations (MUN/Model UN) contains similar constructs that carry over to conflict resolution while maintaining your ‘character’s’ morals. In this way, MUN places students in roles they never would have thought to go into, like the prime minister of Chile or a religious official from Iran. While it may seem uncomfortable at first to portray a person with such staunchly different morals, it encourages a continuation of ongoing growth as both a person in society and a student.

Membership Benefits
Being a member of a Model United Nations (MUN) or debate team in college offers a wide range of personal, academic, and professional benefits. Both activities enhance critical thinking, research, and public speaking skills while helping you become a more confident and persuasive communicator. You’ll gain experience in structured argumentation, diplomacy, and quick thinking—skills that are highly valued in fields like law, business, international relations, public policy, and journalism. Membership also opens doors to leadership opportunities, networking with like-minded peers and professionals, and potential internships or graduate school recommendations. Additionally, MUN and debate teams often travel to national or international conferences and tournaments, fostering strong team camaraderie and enriching your college experience. Whether you’re simulating global crises in MUN or engaging in fast-paced debates, both platforms prepare you to think analytically, speak persuasively, and lead effectively in any career path.

Mission
Educational Studies Club aims to reframe the way Knox College students view the process of education to be. As a student led organization, we understand the pressure of the fast-paced academic culture here at Knox. However, we believe education to never be singularly relevant in a formal academic setting.

Knox College Educational Studies Club believes education to be a life-long process in which we engage with both in and out of the classroom. We seek to cultivate a community of humans with diverse academic interests who can share, enhance, learn, practice or teach new skills to peers at low stakes.

Our mission is to provide a welcoming space for any human to approach learning from a different perspective; to be more mindful with their approach, share and contribute their ideas, create strong relationships, connect with resources useful for being both a life-long student and college student and engage with the process of education without fear of failure.

Knox College Educational Studies Club invites you as the reader to think, what does the meaning of education mean to you?

Membership Benefits
Members of Knox College Educational Studies Club can benefit from engaging in activities related to building/learning/practicing new skills without high stakes. Members will be in an environment where either a peer can teach them how to practice a new skill of their desire (related to meeting or event theme) or can teach a peer how to practice said new skill. Knox College Educational Studies Club believes all students can thrive by learning a new skill (or idea) without the pressure to succeed but instead to view the process of learning as something that is an enjoyable experience and not something to be mastered.

The Knox juggling club aims to be a safe space for students to relax, have some fun, meet new people, and of course, learn to juggle!

The club hopes to be a place for people of any skill level to juggle, contact juggle, devil’s stick, diablo, and just hang out. The Knox juggling club is unique because there is no other juggling club on campus! Juggling is active, good at getting people outside, and very rewarding. Learning to juggle is less about the actual motions, and more of a leap to get over your ‘I can’t’ mentality. It encourages people to try new things, and improve on what they already know. Juggling is great because there is always a way to learn something new.

Founded in 1993, Knox Advocates for Recycling and Environmental Support, known as K.A.R.E.S was an environmental student organization that existed on campus which has now evolved into today's Students for Sustainability.
K.A.R.E.S worked closely with facility services to execute a notable project at Knox, which featured a non-traditional recycling program that has existed and evolved from that time.
After the implementation of this program, K.A.R.E.S slowly expanded its reach to support additional sustainability projects brought on by other environmental resources on campus such as the Knox College Share Shop. With the active involvement in ensuring the success of these resources across campus, K.A.R.E.S decided to shift its personal focus of recycling to broader sustainability initiatives on campus, thus becoming Students for Sustainability.
As an organization we aim to promote the understanding, appreciation, and practice of sustainability across all aspects of life and work at Knox. We aims to create a campus community committed to confronting questions of sustainability and the environment in everyday life. Through weekly meetings, collaborative events, and volunteering opportunities, it intends to engage members of the campus community with the environment in a meaningful way.
