Leadership and Service

The Student Leadership Council (SLC) is an empowering student-run programming board that represents and promotes the common interests and general welfare of the student body. The Council pledges their commitment, leadership, and collaboration to make a difference here and in the community through the organization and promotion of student activities and campus-wide events. The College will provide the Council with a unique experience to be part of an influential and inclusive community on campus by serving as the voice for students to administration, while also providing leadership development opportunities.

The SLC also oversees and regulates all official BRCC clubs/organizations and their budgets through the Club Budget Review Committee.

The BRCC Student Ambassadors is a service organization that works with various departments to promote the image of the college and maintain relationships with former, current, and future students.
