| Campus Activities Board | Back to top | ||||||||||||
The Campus Activities Board at the Sam Wolf Granite City Campus gives students the opportunity to plan the activities they would like to have on campus. Involvement on the CAB helps to develop leadership skills. Part of the college experience is getting involved with your fellow students. We have many opportunities for you to get involved here on campus. Higher education researchers have focused on involvement as a source of development, success and graduation for over thirty years. Numerous studies show that out-of-class experiences are critical for personal development and academic success. Surprisingly, a vast majority of community college students do not participate in extra-curricular activities and the studies show that this is common on most community college campuses. This research shows that students who are involved find it easier to clearly develop their academic goals, get better jobs, and reach managerial positions sooner. Social networking is yet another way to get involved on the college campus. Having friends on campus is a way to connect to the college and can provide you with social support, reinforce your academic learning, and maximize your chance for success. Over half of students studied report almost never interacting with other students. Also surprising is about 75 percent of students do not interact with their instructors outside of the classroom. Studies show that out of class interaction with faculty improves school work, social skills, and clarity of career paths. Therefore, take advantage of the many opportunities SWIC can offer you. Get involved in Campus Activities, study with friends and tutors in the Success Center and get to know your instructors. What are you waiting for? GET INVOLVED!
