Co-CurricularandCollege-Related Programs

Student LIFE provides opportunities to further enhance and expand upon the learning that occurs in the classroom, with activities and programs outside the classroom. Student activity fees help to support the costs of these activities and programs. The Associated Students, through the S&A Fees budget, provide funding to support a variety of programs at EvCC such as the Diversity & Equity Center, the Early Learning Center (childcare), Tutoring Center, Bridges Leadership Academy, The Clipper (student newspaper), Vibrations (student art magazine), the Russell Day Gallery and Theater. These fees also fully support Athletics and Intramural sports at EvCC. Student LIFE also plans the annual commencement celebration.

The Associated Students manage and approve the projects provided by two student fees; Student Technology Fee (E-Tech) and the Student Campus Enhancement Fee. E-Tech supports student technology enhancement on campus, which includes items such as the funding of a computer replacement cycle for open computer labs on campus and reduced computer lab fees. The Student Campus Enhancement Fee supports the creation and improvement of non-instructional spaces for students.
