Student Organizations

The Bon Secours Southside College of Health Sciences holds that all students should have access to extra- and co-curricular opportunities to grow professionally, provide service, practice leadership, and engage with the campus community. Student organizations are key providers of such opportunities.

A student organization must be nondiscriminatory and must adhere to the values and mission of Bon Secours Southside College of Health Sciences. Evaluation and approval for new student organizations include review of several factors, including but not limited to, the number of similar organizations, interest and sustainability, use of campus/college resources, appropriateness and cultural fit. Procedures to establish a student organization can be found in Blackboard in the SCHS - Student Activities organization. 

In addition to student organizations, the Office of Student and Alumni Affairs offers other opportunities for students to engage in service, leadership, and professional development. These opportunities include groups like Students in Service and College Ambassadors, Wellness weeks, days of service, and standalone activities. For more information about student organizations, please reference policy ADM 3.06 and visit the SCHS — Student Activities organization in Blackboard. Questions regarding student organizations may be directed to the Office of Student and Alumni Affairs.
