CONNECT with others THROUGH A GULF COAST STUDENT CLUB OR ORGANIZATION
Right now, a new best friend, an employer, a future business partner, or even a future spouse, could be playing intramurals, studying in the library, or working on a project in a lab. You may meet in class, but your chances of meeting increase dramatically when you get involved with a club or organization at Gulf Coast State College.
Participation in a club or organization:
- builds your career network
- expands your social circle
- increases your leadership skills
- looks great on your resume
- makes college an entertaining and pleasant experience
With more than 5,000 students enrolled on Gulf Coast’s four campuses, you will be able to connect with like-minded people during your academic career. If you don’t see a club or organization that interests you, start one! As the saying goes, “If you build it, they will come.” For more information, please stop by the SGA office located in the McSpadden Student Union East Cafeteria on the Panama City Campus. You can also email Donna Peterson or call 850-769-1551 ext. 3868 to help answer your questions.
