During your time at Manchester Community College (MCC), you are expected to participate in at least one student club and/or college governance committee. If you don’t see a student club that interests you, we will assist you in starting a club that does. Being part of a community means being engaged in that community, student clubs and college governance committees are a tremendous way to make an impact on both your MCC experience and on the community as a whole.
