Student organizations present an array of programs, services, and activities for the College community. Membership in all organizations is open to all students. Groups are chartered by student government, and many have mailboxes in the Student Activities Office. The names of student organization leaders are published in a separate manual at the beginning of the academic year. These groups sponsor and support a number of varied activities throughout the year, open to the campus community and the greater Brunswick area.
