Student Clubs and Organizations

While academics are the priority at Craven Community College, we believe in development outside the classroom. For that reason, we encourage students to participate in student clubs and organizations. Students wishing to join a club should click on the club's link or contact the club advisor. The College administration must approve all student organizations. Each organization must meet and adhere to the criteria and procedures established by the administration.
