Come Join Us
Your experiences as a Montgomery College student are different from those at any other time of your life. You juggle classes, work, and other responsibilities; establish new friendships and connect with others, but most of all you enjoy new freedoms. That's exactly why we're here. Clubs are designed to add value to your student life while at MC. You will find endless opportunities to:
- Meet others, make connections, gain social contacts, but more importantly establish friendships
- Take part in an exciting and fun experience while learning about yourself and the world around you
- Develop and hone vital leadership skills
- Transfer classroom theory into practice
- Build your resume and portfolio
- But more importantly discover your values, potential, and campus spirit
Additionally, clubs have the advantage of collaborating with a faculty member or professional staff advisor and a Student Life Specialist in setting it up to be successful.
Student Life provides the structure and YOU provide student life with your passion, ideas, and energy. As a member of the MC community, we know that you will contribute in many important ways and we are here to be inspired by you and lead with you to make our campus even more vibrant.
Join one of our dozens of campus clubs to meet other students, discover new interests, and develop leadership and collaboration skills.
Don't see a club that meets your interests? Start one of your own. This handbook will guide you through the process of starting and running a club.
Club Leaders and Advisors
Leading a student club is challenging but rewarding work. It is neither the role of
the president nor of the advisor to run the club alone, but rather to facilitate its
growth and development. Student clubs are most effective, productive, and enjoyable
when everyone plays a part in their success. Everything you need to know about running
a club can be found here in the Club Handbook (PDF, 
) .
Club Awards
At the end of the academic year the Student Life Office acknowledges and celebrates the club leaders, advisors and all those who assist the clubs in its achievements, endeavors, and service.
