Student Clubs: Student Clubs offer a low-pressure way to explore leadership by participating in weekly meetings, collaborating on events and service projects, and eventually stepping into leadership roles.

With 50+ clubs, you can connect with other students through shared interests, academics, culture, or hobbies. Students who join clubs have an opportunity to build friendships and professional relationships with students, faculty, staff, the college, and the community.

Student Events: Attending events is a simple way to engage with campus life, meet new people, and experience how student-centered programs create connection and belonging.

Student Events are designed to be welcoming, flexible, and accessible; events are held at all 7 campuses, each semester.

Student Forum: Each semester, SLCC students can attend the Student Forum and listen to college administration answer student questions and listen to their input to make improvements at SLCC. As an attendee, you can observe or if you’re feeling brave, you can stand up and share changes that you want to see at the college!

Thayne Center Leadership Series: Participate in our interactive workshops focused on practical leadership skills that you use right away. Topics include Public Speaking, Setting SMART goals, and Strategic Decision-Making. SLCC students who attend our workshops meet other students, learn key concepts, and immediately apply learning through practice in real time—with feedback from each other that helps students improve on the spot.

SLCC Student Association (SLCCSA) Board Member: A student association board member follows the guidance and direction of their student Vice President, an elected role that works with the SLCCSA Executive Council to set a vision for each academic year, advocate for students, and improve their experiences in, and outside of the classroom.

Board members collaborate on projects, serve as liaisons between students and faculty/staff, and meet weekly to meet with campus partners or discuss strategies to accomplish their vision for the year.

Club Leadership: Each club is led by a Club President. Many clubs add Vice President and other leadership roles to guide club decisions, lead on event planning, and delegate tasks. At SLCC, no experience is required or necessary to lead a club, but we encourage students to first participate in one of our entry point programs to maximize their success in a leadership role.

SLCC Student Association Executive Council: SLCCSA board members are led by the Student Body President, Vice President for Academic Pathways, and Vice President for Equality and Representation; each position is elected by the SLCC student body. These advanced leadership roles work over the summer to receive training on leader their boards, working closely with college administration and campus leaders to represent student voices, influencing policy, and driving meaningful change at SLCC throughout their term.

Student Leadership Conferences: Each Fall and Spring, students who have a leadership role on campus have the opportunity to connect with each other, expand their network, and develop leadership skills through a leadership conference hosted by the Thayne Center. Each conference has workshops that help to teach, build, and practice leadership skills in workshops like self-advocacy, conflict management, making meaningful referrals, public speaking, and bystander intervention.
