STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Student Leadership Council
The Student
Leadership Council (SLC) is the way students become involved in the
decision-making process concerning Griffin Technical College's
policies and regulations, as well as the planning of social
and cultural events and opportunities for service.
The SLC consists
of two members from each area representing both day and evening
students. Officers are
elected by and represent the entire student body.
The executive committee works with a faculty advisor to address
issues of concern and to plan events that benefit the students.
Regular meetings are held at convenient times and each member is
encouraged to express opinions and to participate fully.
The SLC offers a
unique opportunity to students to grow as a person.
In addition, it is a great way to meet new people on campus.
Time management, team building, problem solving, and
organizational skills are enhanced through SLC participation.
Students may
become involved by talking with their advisors or by
contacting the Office of Student
Affairs or any of the
officers of SLC. The only
requirement is that you are committed to service to the student body and
will participate fully in all the approved activities. If you would like
to join or have questions, please contact:
