Student Life
Room 1055
The Muskegon Community College Office of Student Life, as a division of the Student Success Department, seeks to engage students through
celebrating Jayhawk pride,
out-of-classroom programming,
leadership development, and
community connections
Students are encouraged to enrich their college experience by participating in college-sponsored events and activities. These activities help students meet peers, learn new skills, connect with resources, mentor others, and ultimately persevere through the challenges of college life. The Office of Student Life oversees the planning of the annual Jayhawk Frenzy welcome events at the beginning of each Fall Semester, in addition to monthly events and programs throughout the academic year. Staff from Student Life are housed on campus in the Student Success Department, Room 1055. Student Life is also where students can start or join a student organization, and build leadership through this involvement. The Office also facilitates wider strategic partnerships by inviting community organizations which may benefit diverse student needs and interests onto our campus.
Registered Student Organizations and Clubs
Student Life adds to the college experience by offering the opportunity to join many diverse clubs and organizations on campus. Our goal is to empower students by providing social and leadership roles with the purpose of creating tomorrow’s leaders.
Student organizations encourage intellectual, social, cultural and leadership development. In many cases these organizations enable students to work on projects related to the classroom experience. Current information on such activities is publicized on campus each semester.
If you have a common interest with other students and would like to form a student organization, stop by the Student Success Department. Fulltime faculty advisors oversee each club. Members must be enrolled as students at MCC.
Lists and contact information for currently recognized student groups are available online at www.muskegoncc.edu/student-life
