Office of Student Activities

The Office of Student Activities (OSA) provides opportunities for students to nurture their personal growth and development outside of the academic environment. Students are encouraged to participate in student clubs, the Student Government Association (SGA) and the numerous special events sponsored by student clubs and OSA. Affiliation and involvement in student clubs provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on leadership, enriching their college learning experience and providing them with the ability to explore personal and career-related interests. OSA also strives to engage our students, faculty and staff in local communities.

Services

OSA administers the college’s co-curricular program and offers a variety of services that may include leadership workshops, event planning assistance, monitoring the Student Activity Fee fund, games and equipment rentals, student photo IDs, lockers, referrals and general information.

Digital Signage

OSA operates the digital signage located throughout the campus. The signage is available to student clubs and MCC departments to advertise meetings and events. Anyone interested in posting information on the digital signage should contact T.J. Barber via email or call 860-512-3282.

Locker Rentals

Lockers are available for students to use throughout the semester and are located at various locations throughout campus. The cost is $5 for the semester and students must supply their own lock.

College Bulletin Boards

Bulletin boards are used to inform the campus community of campus events, activities, policies and notices. Space is provided for items of an educational, cultural, civic or recreational nature, rather than for commercial or partisan political purposes. The bulletin boards are also offered as a community service to publicize local groups, meetings, cultural events, non-partisan political events, fund-raising events for nonprofit organizations and educational opportunities. If you have something you would like to post, bring it to OSA for prior approval.

Student IDs

Student IDs are available to currently enrolled MCC students and can be used for discounts, identification and more. There is a one-time fee of $5 for your ID ($10 replacement fee). After you have paid the $5 fee at the Bursar’s Office, make your way to the AST Information Desk to get your ID. IDs are issued at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters. Once you have your ID, semester decals are available at no cost from OSA to update your semester status .
