| Office of Student Activities
|
| The Office of Student Activities (OSA) plans and coordinates
extracurricular educational, cultural, and social programs to enhance
the college experience of BMCC students. |
| The OSA distributes discount tickets to Broadway plays
and supports other activities sponsored by various student clubs and
organizations. |
| The OSA also oversees the registration of all student
clubs, assigns classrooms for clubs to meet during club hours
on Wednesdays, and assists in the production of club events. |
| Student Clubs and Organizations |
| Clubs offer the opportunity for students to share,
explore and work together in an ‘out of classroom’ setting
where talents and skills can be developed both for the group and for the individual. |
| Student clubs and organizations are chartered by the
Student Government Association (SGA) to serve
the diverse needs and interests of our students. Participation in
student clubs is key to forming friendships, preparing for a career,
as well as, developing leadership and socialization skills. BMCC clubs
present speakers, films, workshops and events for the entire college
community. Club members also do volunteer work and participate in
community service programs. |
| The Office of Student Activities is involved in student
life throughout the year, starting with Registration
in the Fall Semester, continued activities throughout the Winter Recess and the Spring Semester, coordinating commencement procedures and the Summer Program, and assisting students as they make leadership and Student Government Transitions. |
| Student Activities and SGA |
| The Office of Student Activities also works in conjunction
with the Student Government Association (SGA). The SGA consists of
19 members comprised of four officers (President, Vice President, Secretary,
and Treasurer) and 15 senators. The BMCC student body elects to SGA
hold office for one year, from July 1 though June 30. |
| SGA members sit on standing committees of the Faculty
Council, The BMCC Association, Inc., the BMCC Auxiliary Enterprise
Corp., the Media Board, and the Early Childhood Center, and all other
sub-committees representing college life. |
| SGA members meet regularly with the Dean
of Student Affairs to discuss student needs and concerns and to maintain
open lines of communication among the student body, the faculty and
the college administration. |
