Mission

The Office of Student Life at Santa Monica College provides community and engagement opportunities to support students outside the classroom. SMC students are invited to engage in co-curricular and extracurricular activities and programs (examples: Associated Students, Student Clubs, Civic Engagement, and Student Leadership) to develop their leadership skills and connect with their peers.
