Student Leadership Council

Albany Campus
Forum, Room 120
 

Join a club for fun and connection. Join a co-curricular for growth and experience. Both are valuable ways to make the most of your time at LBCC.

Student life at LBCC is about more than just going to class—it's about finding your community, exploring your interests, and growing your skills. Whether you're looking for a fun way to connect with others or a deeper way to engage with your academic program, there’s a place for you here.

Clubs are student-led groups centered around shared interests, hobbies, cultures, or identities. They’re open to all students and are a great way to meet new people, host events, and build a sense of belonging on campus. Examples include the Garden Club, Dance Club, Tabletop Games, and GSA.

Co-Curriculars are tied to specific academic or support programs and are typically guided by a faculty or staff member. These groups offer real-world experience, leadership development, and hands-on learning that complements your studies. Students are often required to be enrolled in a related program or course to participate. Examples include Civil Discourse, Journalism, and Automotive.

How Clubs Work

Club Manual     Club Advisors Handbook (coming soon)

LBCC's Council of Clubs makes it possible for clubs to pool resources, work together on common issues, share ideas and sponsor joint events that benefit all clubs. Please send a representative of your club to the bi-weekly Council of Clubs meeting! The more clubs that participate, the greater the value. Council of Clubs meets every other week. See the campus calendar for current schedule.

Interested in starting a new club? All you need is an idea, an advisor, and at least eight club members. New clubs may request up to $100 to get started and can present a budget for materials or activities to the Council of Clubs for additional funding at any time during the academic year. Clubs hold a variety of fundraisers and other events throughout the year.

A Club Expo is held at the beginning of winter term in which members showcase their clubs’ offerings and provide information about meeting times and places. LBCC's Welcome Day, College Night, Earth Day, and Mayfest are other annual venues in which to participate and earn funds. Some clubs also choose to host a courtyard lunch in October or May to promote their organizations and earn incentive funds.

Learn more about how to get started in the Club Manual above.

Livestock Judging Team

Co-Curricular

Competitive livestock judging is a co-curricular activity that is an integral part of LBCC's Animal Science program. Students need not be an agriculture major or have any prior judging experience to participate. The benefits extend beyond the learning and applying of current selection criteria. Communication skills, critical thinking and teamwork are essential personal development characteristics that evolve as a result of the time and effort expended. These valuable developmental traits are of great benefit regardless of future endeavors students ultimately select.
