UR Kendo is a group created in 2003 to bring the practice of the Japanese martial art kendo and its sword styles to the UR campus. We are open to anyone and no previous martial arts experience or skill level is required. Our club also includes an iaido component.
Melding the best of all the ancient samurai traditions it draws from, present day kendo seeks a balance between the sport and the martial art. The word kendo itself means "the way of the sword." It can be divided into three main components: the way of the body (the physical training of the body both on its own and wielding the sword), the way of the sword (learning the timing, execution, movement of the strike), and the way of the mind (the cultivation of correct mental attitudes such as focus, respect, patience, and perseverance, and other attitudes influenced by Zen Buddhist philosophy).
A sparring match in Kendo consists of two participants wearing bogu (a modern version of protective samurai armor) attempting to hit their opponent on one of four specific strike spots: men (head), do (abdomen), kote (wrists) or tsuki (neck). Kendo today is practiced with either shinai (bamboo sword) or bokken/bokuto (wooden training sword). Sparring is done only with shinai.
The way of the sword is not something one knows but something one is continually learning and always striving to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually closer to.

Membership Benefits
We hope to provide members with a space and instruction to train their mind and body. We also wish to bring the art of Kendo to U of R. We are open to anyone and no previous martial arts experience or skill level is required.

The purpose of establishing Men's Club Soccer at the University of Rochester is to allow

attend practice, unless they have a valid excuse, or they will not be included in the game
rosters. Lastly, Men's Club Soccer is a student-run organization so the members have the
benefit of consulting one of the captains about various academic or athletic concerns. The

This club allows students to play on an ice hockey team at the University of Rochester. With our school not having a varsity team, this organization will enable hockey-playing students to continue to play their sport at a competitive level in the Upstate New York Club Hockey League (UNYCHL). Hockey is a unique sport that is extremely popular in Western New York and the northeast, in general, so it makes sense for U of R to have a team that permits students to continue playing at a university level. The Genesee Valley Park Ice Arena, which is just across the bridge on Elmwood Avenue, also provides a convenient location for our team to play and store our equipment in a locker room.

While the Ice Hockey Club looks to put a talented group together for competitive UNYCHL games, we realize that it's merely a club sport and that grades come first. Members are excused from practice if they have academic conflicts and games only take place on weekends. On the ice, we will try to achieve excellence by winning. However, instilling leadership qualities, promoting teamwork, increasing communication ability among teammates and between members and our coach, and stressing diligence and discipline are of greater significance. Off the ice, members will have an opportunity to attain leadership, organizational, and communication skills by taking positions that mediate between the team and the coach, the UNYCHL, Student Activities, and UR admins. Our organization will also look to volunteer as a group, especially for the Genesee Valley Youth Hockey Club. In a simpler sense, the U of R Ice Hockey Club will allow members to add to team camaraderie and meet new friends.

ROC Players strives to provide opportunities for students to learn about, participate in, and lead any aspect of a high caliber, completely student-run, full musical theatre production for the entire University of Rochester community. Through this, we enhance and expand the University's theatrical community as well as enjoy the process of putting on a musical.

Membership Benefits
Our members join a fun group of people that are incredibly passionate about musical theatre. You can be as involved with the show as you want, but you also may be an active and dedicated member to the club and have no part of it. If you are part of the show, you gain experience in how student-run theatre works. If part of the cast, you can gain experience in singing, acting, and dancing. You will also learn how a student-run theatre production works, since we do have to operate differently from professional theatre. As a member of the production team, you learn from each other and see how the design of a musical happens. Even being an Assistant you gain expertise from your mentor in hopes you take on the role someday. Everyone involved in the show also learns about how a stressful Tech Week goes and how to run shows once that point is reached. We operate to show students how to do student-run theatre, and we are always trying to get kids involved to see that.

If you are not part of the show, you also get to be a full ROC Player. You attend weekly general membership meetings and social events specially designed for the group. You could also help plan fundraising or public relations initiative, since those are also great skills to putting on a show. We also have an eboard that people can be elected to if they want to see how arts administration works! We really do believe that students who enjoy musical theatre should not have to perform or design to be a vital part of our group.
