Student Leadership Council

Albany Campus
Forum, Room 120
 

From dance to theater, ping-pong to poetry, LBCC has a wide range of clubs to choose from. Looking for something different? Start your own club! All you need is an idea, an advisor, and at least eight club members.

Co-curriculars are a little different from clubs. They’re overseen and supported by their respective academic programs at LBCC and provide both a learning experience and camaraderie among students who share similar academic interests. Co-curricular programs allow you to become more deeply involved in your education by offering hands-on opportunities for learning, performance, competition, and travel.

How Clubs Work

 

Council of Clubs

LBCC's Council of Clubs makes it possible for clubs to pool resources, work together on common issues, share ideas and sponsor joint events that benefit all clubs. Please send a representative of your club to the bi-weekly Council of Clubs meeting! The more clubs that participate, the greater the value. Council of Clubs meets every other week. See the campus calendar for current schedule.

 

Start Your Own LBCC Club

Interested in starting a new club? All you need is an idea, an advisor, and at least eight club members. New clubs may request up to $100 to get started and can present a budget for materials or activities to the Council of Clubs for additional funding at any time during the academic year. Clubs hold a variety of fundraisers and other events throughout the year.

A Club Expo is held at the beginning of winter term in which members showcase their clubs’ offerings and provide information about meeting times and places. LBCC's Welcome Day, College Night, Earth Day, and Mayfest are other annual venues in which to participate and earn funds. Some clubs also choose to host a courtyard lunch in October or May to promote their organizations and earn incentive funds.

Learn more about how to get started in the Club Manual above.
