Activities, Clubs & Organizations
Extracurricular student activities are an important part of college life. Students at DCC have been involved throughout the years in activities that develop camaraderie, school spirit, and and interest in DCC. We encourage you to get involved in any number of activities that suit your interests.

All regularly enrolled full-time students of the College are members of the Associated Student Body of Dawson Community College.

The Senate also participates in DCC governance via appointments to college committees. A portion of the fees paid each semester is routed to ASB to finance activities.
