Student Clubs
At the State College of Florida, we believe that the journey of higher education is about more than just academics. It’s about forging connections, exploring your passions, and embracing diverse experiences. Our student clubs and organizations at both the Bradenton and Venice campuses offer you the chance to do just that.
At both campuses, we encourage diversity, leadership, and personal growth. If you can’t find a club that aligns with your passions, don’t worry – we welcome you to create your own. Our clubs are more than just extracurricular activities; they’re a gateway to new friendships, meaningful experiences, and the chance to make a difference.
So, explore our clubs, connect with like-minded peers, and make the most of your time at the State College of Florida.
