Student Information
Student Activities Board
The Student Activities Board (SAB) serves as the
student governance group on campus. The SAB actively
seeks to represent the needs and concerns of the
students to the college administration. Needs or
concerns of a legislative nature are presented through
the Florida Junior Colleges Student Government
Association (FJCSGA), a statewide organization
representing and involving all of Florida's community
colleges. The purpose of the board is to develop
student leadership and to contribute to the total life of
the college. Through a number of standing and ad hoc
committees, the SAB coordinates, encourages, and
promotes participation in extracurricular and cocurricular
activities. Application criteria for
membership on SAB are available in the Student
Activities Office in the Student Union East.
