educational inadequacies. Through volunteer interactions
the children receive well-needed attention, find a role model,
and most importantly have fun. In addition to hosting beach
days and holiday parties, the OSO also helps to address
medical, academic, and other basic needs of the children.
Photography Club
The SGU Photography Club strives to provide students of
the SGU community who seek to share their talent and learn
more about the art of photography and/or filmmaking. The
Club will be based on the exchange of talents, knowledge,
and techniques between each student coming from a
different background and expertise. In a way every member
will teach or improve his/her skills in the art of photography.
Also, the members will have the opportunity to put their
skills into action by being the photographer of a club event.
The goal of the club is to introduce photography as a hobby
that is accessible to everyone in the SGU community, be it a
beginner, an amateur, or a professional.
Pride & Equality SGU
Pride & Equality (P&E) SGU exists for the benefit of all
members of the university in the hope of enriching their
experience at SGU. As a result, the organization is open
to anyone and everyone. P&E SGU is committed to the
development of an atmosphere that is both open and
equitable, specifically as that goal pertains to the needs
of those who have been marginalized on the basis of their
sexual and/ or gender orientations, and/or identities.
By working with a wide variety of excellent faculty and
visiting professors, the club is able to offer a number of
educational events and social activities throughout the
term focusing on various aspects of the LGBT community.
Significant Others Organization
The Significant Others Organization (SOO) is comprised
of spouses and significant others of students and faculty
who have relocated to attend St. George’s University. The
mission of the SO group is to facilitate the transition of
the significant others and their families to Grenada, to
provide social and recreational activities for significant
others and their families, to act as an informal support
group for significant others and their families, to participate
in and organize philanthropic activities for the Grenadian
community, and to work together with students and
administrators of St. George’s University on various projects
and activities. Visit SOO at www.sgusignificantothers.org.
Volunteer Services
The student body has become increasingly involved with
the community in Grenada through various volunteer
projects. Students have donated time, money, and a
tremendous amount of energy to projects such as the
Kennedy Home for the Handicapped, the Grenada Health
Fair, the St. George’s University Fund for the Orphans and
the Elderly, the Limes After School Program, the Queen
Elizabeth Home for Orphans, and the Dorothy Hopkins
Home for the Disabled. Information regarding volunteer
opportunities can be found by contacting the Significant
Other group.
