HOSA Western’s mission is to give individuals who have a passion for health science a place to connect with like-minded people and develop their passion by providing them with an environment that tests their skills in healthcare. HOSA Western aims to help students become more open to different careers related to health sciences. There are hundreds of possibilities for a career in healthcare or medicine, yet sadly many of these options are not even considered by students. HOSA Western hopes to create a safe place for all science students to engage their interests. The club will hold weekly workshops where club members will be guided through various healthcare-related skills and topics by students who are not professionals but have previous experience with the HOSA competition. They have experience preparing for the Spring Leadership Conference (National Competition) and the International Leadership Conference (International Competition).

The Association of International Relations (AIR) seeks to enrich the academic and social lives of all students who share an interest in global affairs and politics. AIR facilitates discussion and learning about international relations by hosting IR-related speakers and holding dinner events for students to discuss amongst themselves and with their IR professors.

This network allows lower-year history, political science, and IR students to benefit from the experiences of upper-year students who share their personal study and essay-writing tips. Finally, AIR helps to promote the IR program by holding an information session for first year students who would like to hear from upper-year students about their experiences with the program.
