Section 6 - Student Life


Student Life

The Office of Student Life fosters the social, physical and educational well-being of students by providing opportunities and experiences for engagement at the college and in the community. Student engagement and development is accomplished by:

  • providing resources for individual development as well as for student clubs and organizations
  • fostering leadership development opportunities for students
  • providing opportunities for student and faculty interaction and learning through co-curricular events and services

Student clubs and organizations exist to support the college goal of promoting student learning and success through the support from the Office of Student Life. CF student clubs and organizations give individuals opportunities to pursue interests while developing new relationships and leadership skills.
