Student Life [C-123]

The Department of Student Affairs’ co-curricular activities program, coordinated by the Office of Student Life, is designed to enrich students’ total college experience. The mission of the Office of Student Life is to provide programs and services that support the activities of student organizations to sponsor and support extra- and co-curricular activities designed to supplement students’ classroom experiences, and to contribute to students’ personal and intellectual development.

Students and faculty work together to make decisions in areas of college governance and leadership training. Opportunities are available for students to participate on College Council, the Kingsborough Community College Association, and many other college-wide committees.

Over 80 student organizations, organized and administered by students with assistance from full-time faculty and staff advisors, develop academic, cultural, educational and social programs. Included are team sports and athletics, theater, special interest groups, social groups, a radio station, newspaper, yearbook, literary and arts journal and a student ambassador program.

Many events, open to all students, are scheduled throughout the term. They include lectures, films, art exhibits, socials, music and videos. Dates and campus locations of events are published monthly in an events newsletter and in Scepter, the college student newspaper, as well as posted on easels, the college website, and on Facebook. In addition, students can subscribe to the Student Life Text Messaging Service. To signup for the service simply text @KCCEvents to 81010
