The Student Activities Board (SAB) serves as the student governance group on campus. The SAB actively seeks to represent the needs and concerns of the students to the college administration. Needs or concerns of a legislative nature are presented through the Florida Junior Colleges Student Government Association (FJCSGA), a statewide organization representing and involving all of Florida's community colleges. The purpose of the board is to develop student leadership and to contribute to the total life of the college. Through a number of standing and ad hoc committees, the SAB coordinates, encourages, and promotes participation in extracurricular and cocurricular activities. Application criteria for membership on SAB are available in the Student Activities Office in the Student Union East.
