Recognized Student Clubs and Organizations (RSCO)

• • Who We Are
    Inter-Club Council and Recognized Student Clubs and Organizations (RSCO) 

    Over 60 recognized student clubs and organizations (RSCO) provide opportunities for students to make friends, enhance learning, and enjoy college life through their co-curricular experience. There are a variety of RSCOs: cultural, religious, vocational, general interest, special needs, and scholastic. 

     

    The Mt. SAC Inter-Club Council (ICC) consists of representatives from each RSCO who share ideas and seek ways to better serve the College community. ICC serves as the governing body of the collective RSCO of Mt. San Antonio College. The purpose of ICC is to promote communication and cooperation between campus RSCOs. 

     

    ICC strives to do the following:

    • Provide a communication network between RSCOs
    • Act as a resource for RSCOs, particularly in the areas of organization, problem solving, membership promotion, and fundraising
    • Maintain RSCO participation and support of Associated Students sponsored events
    • Provide a forum for expressing the interests of RSCOs
  • Inter-Club Council Constitution
    The  Inter-Club Council Constitution is the supreme governing document of the Inter-Club Council.
