Life beyond the classroom
The JCSU student experience goes beyond the classroom. Year-round you’ll find activities, celebrations and events on campus. Whether you want to be in the audience or in the spotlight is up to you.
Life at JCSU
JCSU is invested in you as a whole person. We encourage students to get involved on campus and in the community. Join a student organization, run for office in the Student Government Association or participate in community service activities and internship opportunities.
It’s what you do both in and out of class that creates your JCSU experience. Building leadership and social skills, learning how to network and communicate your ideas to a diverse audience – it’s all part of a JCSU education.
