Students need a voice in their college. That's why the leaders of Eastern Florida State College organized the Student Government Association (SGA) and made sure there's a branch on each EFSC campus. You'll find that SGA, and each campus' Student Activities Office, are involved in everything from organizing fun events to relieve the stress of final exam week to screening and approving new student clubs.

Explore all the clubs and events on your campus. It's easy to get involved – just contact the student activities director at your campus or the sponsor for the club you're interested in. This is also your one-stop location for a calendar and information about student events.

Student Government participation, either as an officer or volunteer committee member, is an opportunity to enhance your leadership skills, including involvement at the local, district and state levels of student government through the Florida College System Student Government Association (FCSSGA).
