Campus Activities

Learning opportunities for Sierra College students extend beyond the classroom to the many extracurricular opportunities available at district campuses. The ASSC provides avenues to develop leadership skills and provide service to the college and the community while exploring a wide range of ideas and perspectives.

The Student Senate is the formal voice of the students and provides the opportunity to participate in the shared governance of Sierra College. The officers of the Student Senate represent the students to the faculty, staff, and Board of Trustees.

Student clubs enhance the college experience through student involvement in specialized fields of interest associated with an academic major, a personal interest in a particular activity, or service to the college or the community. See the complete list of campus clubs on the website.

The Campus Life office, located in J-7 at the Rocklin campus and N5-104 at the Nevada County Campus, is a resource center dedicated to enhancing the educational experience for all students. The Campus Life program provides pathways for students to become informed, educated leaders and citizens.
