GHC Student Organizations
Leadership. Academics. Special Interests
Students interested in joining any of the established groups should contact the club advisor for more information. Student organizations at Georgia Highlands College may represent special interests, but participation is open to all students. Club Round-Up days are held at the beginning of both fall and spring semesters at all locations as an opportunity for students to learn more about the groups.
Finding the Right Organization
If you do not see a group that interests you, the Office of Student Engagement encourages students to form new organizations at any time.
