Art Club is a way to share our passions with others and each other.

Board Game Club (BGC)

Cadenza

Advisor: Brendan Golle (bgolle@unis.org) 

Mission Statement:  Cadenza strives to use music to bring joy to other people. As of now, we are mostly performing for the elderly who are confined to their homes due to the pandemic. Our goal is to lend a helping hand to those who need it, through musical performances and through other outreach opportunities. We feel it is very important that people who have the ability to help out should, and our club will give everyone a chance to do so.

Chess Club

Film Club

Advisor:  Sandra Lipkind (slipkind@unis.org)

Mission Statement: The Film Club's mission is to provide a community for UNIS Tut House students who share a common interest in film. We will select, view, and discuss a diverse range of films that are of cultural, or historic, or artistic significance. Our provision and service as a forum for film will set forth open-ended discussions, so that our club members can actively engage in sharing their sentiments on films.

Fashion Sustainability Club

Mission Statement: Look broadly at the roles of both businesses and individuals in being more sustainable in the fashion sector. Educate and expand our knowledge on how fast fashion is destroying the environment and promoting ways to shop sustainably. Promote ways to reuse clothing instead of buying more through creative group activities and service based projects. Promote fashion sustainability to the whole school through public endeavors and activities.

Smash Bros Melee Club

Table Tennis Club

Advisor: Alcy Leyva (aleyva@unis.org)

Mission Statement:  Table Tennis Club wants to teach the people of this school about the history and culture of table tennis. Our goal is to help students in learning how to play table tennis so that we can play competitive games with each other. We think that bringing a sport such as a table tennis to UNIS would add to the variety of different recreational activities and give students a place to be active, competitive and have fun during these tough COVID times. 

Sports 4 All

Advisor:   TBD

Mission Statement:  Our club's goal is to raise money and donations of sports equipment for schools and athletic departments in New York City which don't have the same access to sports equipment as we are lucky enough to have. We want to educate the students of UNIS on situations around the world as well as try to share our love for sports with others without resources. We would do this by raising funds and donating equipment to local schools.

Advisor: Daniel Longoria (dlongoria@unis.org)

Mission Statement:  The mission of the Climbing Club is to bring together people of all ages and backgrounds, through climbing. We aim to help people new to the sport to become more fit, and help them enjoy it as much as more experienced climbers do. Another goal is to organize crag (climbing area) cleanups, because it is our responsibility as climbers who use those areas to maintain the ecosystem there.
