Mission Statement

Because an active student is a successful student, Macon State College's Student Life Program is based on three very sound principles that will help you achieve the success you desire.

First...
participation in Student Life activities gives you the opportunity to meet students, faculty, and staff outside the classroom.  It's through participation in activities such as flag football, Family Night, parties, and drive-in movies that you will build networks of support that will help you through your challenging college experience.  And you may find that the friendships you build in college can last a lifetime!

Second...
when you graduate from Macon State, you'll be looking for a good job, right?  Participation in Student Life programs will provide you with skills and experience that employers find attractive.  For example, are you able to work well with a diverse group of people?  Are you skilled in conflict resolution?  Do you manage your time well?  Are you an effective public speaker?  Are you concerned with the welfare of the community in which you live?  Participation in campus activities shows potential employers that you care enough about your community to become involved at a level beyond that which is minimally expected.  That's a definite advantage when you're trying to find a job!

Third...
by participating in Student Life programs, you become more aware of the world around you.  As you progress through your education at Macon State, you will be exposed to ideas, concepts, philosophies, arts, and cultures - all of which will expand your horizons in ways you cannot imagine.  You may even discover that you enjoy everything from the taste of sushi to the sound of jazz.  The opportunities for personal development are endless!

And...
as if all the above reasons to participate in learning outside the classroom aren't enough, here's one more - you're paying for it!  If you're a student at Macon State enrolled in more than three semester hours, you pay a $44 Student Activities Fee per semester.  So, why not take advantage and get your money's worth?
