STUDENT LIFE, STUDENT ACTIVITIES
and the STUDENT CENTER

Morgan Community College - Wall

This climbing wall is typical of the great activities for students and their families on the Fort Morgan campus.

The Student Center is a place to go to meet people and relax between classes. In the Student Center, students can get information on student clubs, activities, organizations, health and wellness programs, student rights and responsibilities, and Student Government. The Center is also a great place to study, watch your favorite daytime soap on television, eat a quick lunch, or play a game of pool.

Also, check out the MCC Job Book, with country, state and out-of-state job listings posted. Student government association provides free popcorn to students and a variety of vending items are also available.

MCC's Student Center

MCC's Student Center on the main campus houses the bookstore, copy center, Anna C. Petteys Student Lounge, kitchen, student conference room, a variety of vending machines, and the student activity office. MCC thanks the MCC Foundation and the Jack Petteys Memorial Foundation of Brush for the generous donations.

Student Government Association (SGA): The Student Government Association is always looking for student leaders who are interested in serving as student liaisons in college/student governance. Student Government offers an excellent opportunity to strengthen leadership skills, work on issues affecting students, and give input on the allocation of student fees. Officers for the executive branch run for election in the spring, legislative officers run in the fall. All students are encouraged to express their views on policy-making operations and in administering policies that concern them and other students. Student Government welcomes students to attend any of the meetings to discuss their suggestions and concerns. Information and a copy of the Student Government by-laws and constitution are available from Judy Watson, Coordinator of Student Life at judy.watson@morgancc.edu.

Student Clubs: Meet new people, make new friends, learn and develop leadership skills, and explore special interests!
