Student Life
Student Life Retreat

Each year the offices of Student Life & Leadership from both the Maricopa Community College District and Central Arizona College host a three-day retreat designed to strengthen the leadership, life, and wellness skills of students. This year's participants will include students from Central Arizona College, Chandler-Gilbert Community College, Estrella Mountain Community College, GateWay Community College, Glendale Community College, Mesa Community College, Scottsdale Community College, and South Mountain Community College.

We encourage any current or hopeful student leader to apply! This year's details are as follows:

 

The Student Public Policy Forum

The Student Public Policy Forum (SPPF) is a co-curricular activity that provides an overview of local, state and national public policy making, citizen influence and involvement. A focus is placed on experiential learning, leadership development, and student engagement in public policy processes. During the course of the program, students will research and prepare to speak on higher education issues (Green sheet issues) specifically related to community colleges.



Any student of a participating college may apply for the Student Public Policy Forum provided they meet the minimum program requirements. However, space is limited and competition for available seats grows each year.

Applications may be printed from our website or received from your campus contact person. They may be submitted to your campus contact person by the application deadline of 4pm on the second Thursday of the month of September. Applications are screened and candidates are selected at the college level. Students who have been previous participants in the Student Public Policy Forum (SPPF) are not eligible to repeat the program but may become involved in continuing activities as a SPPF alumnus.
