Robeson Community College encourages and supports
student participation in a wide variety of extracurricular activities
designed to complement the classroom experience. The RCC
Student Government Association is responsible for promoting
the general welfare of the College, encouraging student
involvement in the governance of the SGA, providing avenues
for input in institutional decision making and promoting
communication between students, staff, and faculty. Composed
of all currently enrolled curriculum students, the SGA provides
direction, guidance, and oversight of the activity budget.
As a means of facilitation student involvement in campus
decision making, students are encouraged and invited to
participate in various standing committees, advisory committees,
and ad hoc committees. The President of the Student
Government Association serves as an ex officio nonvoting
member of the RCC Board of Trustees. Other standing
committees in which students serve as voting members include:
Planning Council, Student Affairs Committee, Student Hearing
Board, and the Resource Services Committee.
To get involved in campus governance, students are
encouraged to contact elected officers of the Student Government
Association or the faculty/staff advisor for the SGA.
Student Government
The Student Government Association is composed of all
curriculum students who are enrolled at Robeson Community
College. All SGA members are encouraged to be active
participants in student affairs and to voice opinions and thoughts
through their organization.
The President of the SGA is elected in May of each year.
Other officers and representatives of the SGA are elected in

sponsors athletic and social activities that enhance student
campus life. Students are involved in school affairs, with active
participation on various advisory and ad hoc committees.
Representatives of the SGA usually attend state conferences of
the Student Government Association in the North Carolina
Community College System.
A budget governing the student activity fee for the following
school year is recommended by the SGA in the spring. The budget
usually covers special projects, student insurance, socials, and
dances.

persons: SGA President, SGA Advisor, Chairperson of the
English Department, and the Director of Library Services.
