Campus Map
You'll never be bored at Dordt. Student activities are an important part of our campus culture. Dordt Student Activities (DSA) is a group of students and staff who work to initiate, plan, organize, facilitate, and implement campus-wide activities throughout the entire academic year.
We offer dozens of clubs to help you find friends with common interests. Students who enjoy singing or playing an instrument are invited to join the campus praise and worship teams and bands. We want all students to enjoy their hobbies (or find new ones) and share their gifts while at Dordt.
Just don't forget to study. 😉
Art is everywhere on Dordt's campus. It can be found outside—in sculptures like the Gift and the burning bush—and inside, in the Campus Center art gallery and in the galleries in the art department. Take an art class and you'll get to explore your creative side.
Check out our news to see which artist's work is being featured in the Campus Center art gallery right now.
