Student Clubs and Organizations:
A student organization is a group of people who are enrolled at LBCC, and who come together for a common purpose. As a major source of life on campus, clubs provide opportunities for a social interaction unparalleled in the classroom or other extra curricular programs. They usually have a curricular or special interest focus. LBCC has various organizations that enhance the recreational, educational, and social life of all who participate in their activities.
