Nearly everyday of the week from sunrise until well after dark, LBCC students are enjoying the benefits of Associated Student Body and Student Life activities that are funded through the College Services Card. These programs allow students to take their classroom experience onto stages, over to the athletic fields, into club meetings and throughout the community.

This "classroom without walls" allows us to offer clubs, intramural recreational athletic competitions, leadership training and volunteer opportunities as well as social and cultural experiences.

The activities provide rich rewards and opportunities for a wide range of goals including: interaction with other students, college employees and community members; scholarship opportunities; transfer and transcript improvement; resume strengthen experiences; understanding other points of view; career connections; multicultural awareness; excitement, involvement, enthusiasm and FUN!

Topped by one of the largest club systems in the county, a nationally respected community college intramural program, a model volunteer program, two cultural affairs programs, and many traditional events, the students of LBCC’s Liberal Arts and Pacific Coast campuses can chose from a long list of activities including; Spring Sing Variety Show; Cultural Fairs; Volunteer Fairs and opportunities; Student Elections; Homecoming; Mini Grand Prix go-cart races; Leadership groups; Cultural Observances and many other events planned by students.

Student activities at Long Beach City College, through the Student Life program, carry such a rich tradition and a high level of student involvement that many observers have compared the vibrant campuses to university settings where students enjoy the total collegiate experience beyond the classroom. Also, respected academic studies have shown that students who become involved in extra-curricular activities in college earn a grade point average that exceeds those of the average GPA at the college. Those two key points help explain why LBCC students are among the most involved in the nation.
