TAMS has a wide variety of clubs available to students including academics, fine arts, technology, and more! Clubs at TAMS are unique in that most, if not all, activities and events run by clubs are student driven.

Advised

Advised club status is given to select clubs. They receive a TAMS staff as an advisor and budget directly from TAMS Student Life. Additionally, Advised clubs have to adhere to specific rules regarding exec selection, usage of budget, events, etc.
