Student Life

The Office of Student Life develops student leaders who are committed to personal growth and are dedicated, involved, and engaged in their communities through intentional programming, student organization participation, and building meaningful relationships within an inclusive learning environment. We believe student involvement on campus provides an avenue for intellectual, career, educational, and personal growth and development. Involvement can also enhance what is being learned in the classroom. The Office of Student Life facilitates student learning in three main ways: Involvement, Leadership, and Community Engagement.

Involvement

  • Attend a campus event, such as lectures, speakers, panel discussions, cultural fairs and festivals, awareness days, and concerts. Last year, we hosted a Safe Trick-or-Treat, MLK Jr. Celebration, Leadership Meet and Greet, Open Mic Night, and many more!
  • Join a Student-Led Organization (SLO). Current active SLOs are LatinX, LGBTQA Alliance, Phi Theta Kappa, Student Government Association, Operation Smile, Inclusive Excellence Student Council, and Computer & Digital Club. You can also start a new SLO!
  • StrengthsQuest workshops are free workshops that help you understand your natural talents, and how to use those talents for academic and personal success. Workshops are held twice a semester and food is provided.

Leadership Initiatives

myQUEST is a leadership program open to all students. With over 360,000,000 definitions of leadership, how do you define leadership? With companies demanding leaders, it’s important to know how you lead. This program will help you be more marketable and confident. Learn more and get involved at www.ccaurora.edu/myquest.

Student Government Association

The Student Government Association (SGA), funded by student fees, represents the student body and serves as a liaison between the faculty, administration, and the student body in areas of mutual interest. The purpose of the SGA is to promote student leadership and college spirit, provide a forum for discussion between students and administration, and give students a representative voice in college affairs. In short, SGA works for the students!  It is SGA’s duty to voice the best interests of CCA students and to assist students with any issues they might have – no matter how large or small – to make their college experience better. If you have suggestions, ideas, please email SGA.CCAurora@gmail.com.

Phi Theta Kappa

Phi Theta Kappa  is the International Honor Society of two-year colleges.  The Alpha Pi Pi Chapter is housed at CCA in the Office of Student Life, and encourages members to participate in community service and develop leadership skills.   Alpha Pi Pi also provides a means for scholars with high academic achievements to share their knowledge with the college.  Students who have achieved a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 and above and have completed at least 12 credit hours at CCA are invited to join.  Phi Theta Kappa sends invitations for membership at the beginning of every semester. Email us at PTK@ccaurora.edu.
