Student Clubs

Student Organizations offer an excellent way to meet others, develop leadership skills, and become part of the experience that lay the foundation of our college and help fulfill its Vision.  By becoming involved, your time at MPC will become more meaningful, productive, and enjoyable, and you will enhance your learning outside of the classroom.

Open to all students of the MPC community, student organizations enrich our campus life through events, programs, activities, projects and service.  They fall into several categories including academic, community service, cultural, political/social action, recreation, religious, and sports.  MPC organizations are diverse and very active, so our campus offers countless ways to be involved!

Listed below are the current active clubs at MPC.  If you are interested in starting a club, please contact our Director of Student Activities for more information on how to proceed.
