DRAGON CLUBS
“If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
O’Dowd’s culture actively celebrates the multiplicity of gifts, talents, passions and potential each student brings to our community. Our clubs offer a rich expanse of opportunities for students to nurture their interests, build deep friendships, explore their skills, develop their identity, and connect to O’Dowd’s mission and values.

Spark your curiosity by joining a fun club!

Family Days
Every fall semester, O'Dowd hosts unique cultural celebration days for our families. These events are a fun time to build community and enjoy food and activities reflective of the many families that shape O'Dowd. It's also an opportunity to foster connections with O'Dowd faculty and staff! We know that over 20% of our students identify as multi-racial, and we encourage participation in as many Family Days as you like
