Student Clubs and Organizations

At SMC you have the opportunity to get as involved as you want to be at the Freshmen and Sophomore levels because you are not competing with Juniors and Seniors for leadership positions.  Leadership positions in clubs and organizations are open to all students displaying the interest and dedication to make that organization work.  Learn all about different campus groups at the Club and Organization Fair held each year at the beginning of the Fall Semester.
