Student Life and Leadership Development

Clubs and Organizations

Get involved! Florida State College is home to a variety of intercollegiate social, academic, service and occupational organizations.

Each campus has its own special blend of clubs with several reaching all campuses. Check the list, contact the appropriate advisor and find out how you can get involved!

Don’t see an organization you’re interested in? Start your own! Chartering an organization can be as simple as obtaining a list of at least seven interested students and a faculty/staff advisor. Student Life and Leadership Development offers a “starter kit” to help you get your club up and running. Contact your campus office for information.
