Providing Opportunities for Student Engagement
The Associated Students of Cosumnes River College (ASCRC) is the student government of the college. It's comprised of two leadership teams: the Student Senate (SS) and the Clubs and Events Board (CAEB).
Student Senate
The Student Senate serves as the recognized voice of the students on campus, and operates under the direction of officers who are elected by the CRC Student Body. The organization is the vehicle through which students may actively influence college life. Students who serve on college and district wide communities are appointed by the Student Senate President. The Student Senate is dedicated to serving the student body by specifically helping to promote the interests and rights of the students it represents.
The Student Senate informs students of their rights and responsibilities and motivates students to participate in policy making that affects their education, thereby improving the quality of their educational experience. It's goal is to involve students in extra-curricular activities, and maintain a high standard of student life by promoting and administering programs that enrich academic, cultural and social life at Cosumnes River College.
Club and Events Board (CAEB)
The CAEB serves to promote student involvement and activities that recognize the cultural and ethnic diversity of the college community and foster cultural awareness and understanding. As the promoter of student clubs to the campus community, representatives exchange ideas, review club charters and host events that promote a sense of unity between clubs and the intellectual, artistic and social life of students.
