Office of Student Activities and Wellness

The Office of Student Activities and Wellness, in collaboration with the campus community, provides opportunities for the development of the whole student through “outside of the classroom” activities by offering a rich variety of educational, wellness, and social programs. Involvement in campus life will enhance future possibilities for lifelong learning, employment, and healthy choices.

The Office of Student Activities provides an integral part of the total learning process at JJC. We offer a wide variety of the social and recreational activities through clubs and coordinate a regular schedule of OSA sponsored cultural, educational, and wellness programming. Through various clubs, organizations, and activities, students have the opportunity to add another dimension to the college experience. We encourage students to participate in a wide range of the opportunities available.
