Organizations

Student Advisory Board (SAB)

SAB is the offically recognized governing body for all students enrolled at the Jamestown Campus. SAB serves the student body as a liaison among the students, faculty, the administration and as a source of financial assistance for student clubs recognized by SAB. Student elections are held in September and May. Students who wish to have their names placed on the ballot can obtain petitions from the SAB office and the Campus Life office. SAB meetings are held on Mondays 12 - 1 p.m. in COCE Conference Room #30.

Campus Activity Board (CAB)

The Campus Activity Board provides a majority of the social and cultural activities at JCC. Live performances, films, speakers, dances, concerts, excursions, noontime programs, and other special programs are sponsored throughout the academic year. Students interested in the experience of planning and implementing programs which fulfill the social, cultural, and educational needs of the student body, faculty, staff, and administration should contact the campus life office.

College Program Committee
The College Program Committee plans and directs events that will be attractive to the college community in as many areas of academic and curricular interest as possible. Outstanding speakers, performing artists, touring exhibits, demonstrations, films, and entertainers are brought to the campus each year. Any interested student may serve on the committee along with faculty members.

Clubs

Student clubs provide opportunities for learning and interpersonal skills development outside the classroom. Since the clubs are organized and run by students, they allow for self-direction based on the needs and interests of their members. Groups of students with common interests are encouraged to organize and submit a charter to the Student Senate on the campus which they are attending.

Each group must present a signed list of members, as well as evidence of a commitment from a faculty or staff member to serve as the group's advisor. Many such groups continue from year to year, but new ones are organized annually to serve special interests. Those wishing to obtain more information regarding clubs should contact the campus life office.
