The CUNY School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS) offers current students the opportunity to participate in student life activities that develop leadership skills, expand professional networks, and provide unique engagement with faculty and staff. We encourage all students to join a club or activity that best fits their academic and professional goals.
If you have an idea for a co-curricular club or activity that we do not already provide, please share your ideas by contacting associate director of student life Anthony Sweeney.

SPS Clubs
Arts and Crafts Club
Mission
The CUNY SPS Arts & Crafts Club is a student-run organization that allows all CUNY SPS students interested in art (not limited to painting, drawing, sketching, etc.) or crafts (not limited to knitting, crochet, jewelry making, sewing, etc.) to expand their knowledge and understanding of arts and crafts, share resources, and socialize with other students who share similar interests. Students will gain these skills through regular meeting attendance, participation in group events, and community service opportunities. The Arts & Crafts Club also offers students opportunities to engage with faculty and administration, explore professional development, and participate in co-curricular activities that enhance student life.
Vision
The Arts & Crafts Club envisions a creative and inclusive community where students can express themselves through various artistic and craft-based mediums. We strive to inspire lifelong appreciation for the arts, foster collaboration and skill-sharing among members, and build a supportive environment that promotes well-being, cultural exploration, and personal growth beyond the classroom.
