San Jose City College clubs give students the experience they need to build a strong application for scholarships. SJCC campus has many clubs ranging from Cosmetology club, Latina leadership network, Media club, Student Association of Veterans even The United World Student Organization. Each club is facing different issues with different goals, all working toward improving their community.
Joining a club allows students to gather the experience they would need to strengthen their resume for grants, scholarships and even awards. Also students can expand their networking with other students and clients.
“Joining the Associated Student Government and the 13 plus clubs that we have at San Jose City College is an opportunity for students to be actively involved in the campus community. They work with other students to discuss issues related to students during weekly meetings, represent students in campus committees and organize social events for students,” said Sia Saquee, 21, San Jose City College Associated Student Government President who is majoring in Administration of Justice.
It takes two to tango in order for a club to strive. With school, work, family and life many students are overwhelmed with their mandatory obligations and believe they would not have the time to commit.
“On the contrary, joining a club allows for an escape from my life. The goals and outcomes from clubs are different than that of school and work,” Ariel Romero, 23, who is majoring in health service administration, had some objections to the stereotypes towards clubs.
With all our diverse options of club at San Jose City College allows any student to create a club on their campus. There are three ways a student can start with running a club. The first way would be to email either president of the Associated Student Government Sia Saquee or vice president Maria Hernandez. A final way to start a club would be to visit the front desk in the Student Center. With a few friends and classmates signature a student can start with taking a step in improving both themselves and their campus.
