Pre-Health Club

The Pre-Health Club is a group of Reed students who are interested in entering the medical field. The club hosts a variety of events, including networking and panel events, workshops about the MCAT and applying to medical school and graduate programs, and team building events, such as writing thank-you cards to healthcare workers. Reedies who are considering health and medicine careers are welcome to join. We aim to help you find the best internship and career opportunities, volunteer experiences, and shadowing events.

Reed Mock Trial

Reed Mock Trial is a student-run organization at ÖÆ·þ¾ÞÈé that competes in the American Mock Trial Association’s collegiate Mock Trial Circuit. Composed of about 20 students each year, the team has consistently placed well at the regional level and has competed in Opening Round Championships. Mock Trial replicates the conditions of a real trial and asks students to formulate arguments for both prosecution and defense based on evidence and witness testimony. Join Mock Trial if you're interested in public speaking, meeting pre-law students at other schools, or talking with other students at Reed interested in law!

Greenboard

Greenboard is Reed's sustainability and environmental activism club. We run the compost program, pollinator garden, Canyon Day, and other events and projects.

Herodotones

We're the Herodotones, Reed's only acapella group on campus. We're just a group of people who like to sing together and mess around arranging our favorite songs into something we can perform in four part harmony. This group is a lot of fun, and we want to hear people from all levels of experience; the only thing you need is to love singing.

KRRC

Since 1954, KRRC has been bringing Reed students' music and voices to the public. Formerly found at 97.9 on the FM airwaves, our student-run radio station has since moved online at krrc.fm. Students bring their own ideas for talk shows, DJ sets, and deep cuts from our very own record library to create an experience unique to their tastes with as little interference as possible. Our station, located in the student union, acts as something of a historical record of student affairs, with walls brightly decorated with illustrations, DJ signatures, and in-jokes, one proclaiming "These walls are for catharsis!" The record library houses an impressive collection of vinyl from all eras, all of which is available to be borrowed by our DJs and played on the air.

K-pop Dance Club

Welcome to K-pop Dance Club! We host weekly classes where we teach K-pop dances, in addition to working on original choreographies and doing performances of full covers! We also host food and social events throughout the year. If you are a K-pop stan or want to try out dance classes in a welcoming environment, come join us!

Weapons of Mass Distraction

Good day! We are Reed’s fire spinning and flow arts troupe! From flaming English scythe to epic battles, to glow poi, we aim to please our audiences—and most importantly—have a fire time! All skill levels are always welcome.

Mountaineering Club

Mountaineering Club is a group of Reed students who like having adventures, exploring, and managing risks in Earth’s mountains and wild spaces. The club’s goal is to foster a supportive climbing community at Reed, where seasoned adventurers can find partners and where newer folks can gain experience. Maybe you're a rugged alpinist, or maybe you just want to make some friends and learn something. Either way, we want you, your skills, and your stories.

Reed Outing Club

The Reed Outing Club (ROC) exists to help Reedies get outside and enjoy all the outdoor opportunities the Northwest has to offer! Typically, we go on day trips on weekends and take longer trips over breaks to beautiful locations throughout Oregon and Washington. This semester, we’re planning a variety of in-person and virtual events to help you build your outdoor skills (or keep them sharp) and have a good, safe time, and continue to build Reed’s outdoor community. ROC events are always free, and all Reed students are welcome! Regardless of your level of prior outdoors experience, we can’t wait to go on outdoor adventures with you!

Reed Rugby

Reed's only rugby club! This is an older Reed tradition, coached by a Reed alum, where you're only allowed to throw the ball backwards. Aside from the actual (weird) rules of the sport, Reed rugby aims to create a diverse, inclusive, and fun environment for people to learn new skills, exercise, and build community.

Volleyball Club

Come join us for friendly volleyball practices! No experience necessary. This is a club for everybody of all skill levels, no matter if you are a beginner or advanced player. As long as you just want to learn and have fun, this is the club for you!

Jewish Student Union

The Jewish Student Union is a student-run club that aims to create a safe, inclusive space for Jews at Reed to share and celebrate their Judaism. To that end, we host events welcoming to all denominations from the most secular to the most religious, and all backgrounds from Jewish to Jew-ish. Our group empowers marginalized identities within Judaism with events aimed at gender minority, LGBTQ+ students, and/or non-white Jewish Reedies. Overall, our work is to provide a non-intimidating, accessible approach to Judaism that allows students to explore their Jewish identity with no hangups.

Low-SES and First-Generation Student Kollectiv

The Low-SES and First-Generation Student Kollectiv aims to advocate for low-income students' needs and visibility, and to create community. We create and maintain a strong network that is supportive and informational, helping to provide resources to those who work to pay their own tuition. Through in-person and online communication, we share experiences, advice, shared hardships, and other information that we feel is difficult to share with people who do not experience being financially independent, low-SES, first-generation American, or first-generation to college at Reed.

Period Kollectiv

Period Kollectiv is a resource for Reedies who menstruate. We are dedicated to decreasing the stigma and increasing the accessibility of pads and tampons in campus restrooms. Support Period Kollectiv (vote top six!) to get free pads and tampons as well as other goodies like menstrual cups and discs, period underwear, ibuprofen, Midol, heating patches, and more. We work to supply a diverse set of products, free to Reedies, that provide comfort to those who menstruate. Further, we’re working to implement products like skin care (face masks and pimple patches), essential oils, and ovulation tests.

STEMGeMs

STEMGeMs is Reed’s student group for gender minorities in STEM fields. Women, transgender folk, and non-binary folk are historically underrepresented in STEM fields due to systemic hindrances, and this disproportionate representation isn't because cis men are intrinsically “better,” more passionate, or harder working. If you’ve ever thought “How can I talk to my professor about making their class more inclusive?” or “I wish this dude would stop talking over me and actually listen,” come chat! We’re excited about creating a community that extends across classes and connects folks with shared experiences. If you need a support system for challenges you are facing or have ideas about addressing issues of gender inequality at Reed, we hope you’ll come hang out with us and join our mailing list to stay updated!

Students of Color Union

As stated in our name, the purpose of the Students of Color Union is to unionize: we, as a fellowship, make express personal and widely shared grievances across multi-identity groups while also searching to ameliorate them publicly and peacefully. We aim to catalyze the building and empowering of representatives for and from a multitude of cultures and progress toward a safer community within but also separate from the lesser marginalized groups of campus.

The Griffin

The Griffin is Reed's senior yearbook, meant to serve as a token of each class and its students. The Griffin has been printed for almost every senior class since the college was formed. Old copies of The Griffin can be found in the archives!

The ÖÆ·þ¾ÞÈé Quest

The ÖÆ·þ¾ÞÈé Quest is the weekly student-run newspaper of ÖÆ·þ¾ÞÈé, publishing since 1913. If you have ever wanted to be a journalist, reporter, comic artist, photographer, or more, join the Quest! No previous experience is necessary.

Pool Hall

The Pool Hall is an all-access space where people come to play pool, listen to music, and look at the writings on the wall. We have six tables to play on, a jukebox to play from, and a furnished office to relax in when the manager is around!

Print Shoppe

The Print Shoppe is a student-run silk screening space in the Gray Campus Center. We’ve got all the equipment you need to print your very own stellar T-shirts (except for the T-shirts themselves).

Reed Bike Co-Op

At the co-op, we guide individuals through repairs to their own bikes, as well as help people become mechanics so that they can help others. We provide some replaceable items on bikes and provide our mechanics with the tools to build and maintain their own bikes!

Student Darkroom

The student darkroom is a space to develop and print your black and white photography. All loaner cameras, film, chemicals, and paper are completely free for you to use. We also offer free training if you want to learn how to use the darkroom or need a refresher!
