Student Life
CCBC’s student activity programs are learning centered and based upon the assumption that involvement in student activities should be a component of any education.

Participation in academic and social experiences provides the ideal learning laboratory in which students can develop skills as group leaders and members. Involved students develop greater understanding of and increased competence in leadership, organizational techniques, group processes and communication. They also acquire skills and knowledge in specific areas of interest. Student organizations and events are funded by the activity fees collected at registration.
