Student Organizations, Intramurals & Clubs

New to RCC this year are intramural sports. We currently offer basketball and volleyball. Everyone is encouraged to participate including, Randolph Early College High School students, our typical College students, and Online or Huskins students. Its great exercise and fun for all.

RCC supports student participation in clubs and organizations. Groups wishing to form a club should first submit a written request to the vice president for student services. Requests should support the interests and goals of the institution. Following approval by the vice president, such interested parties should request to meet with the Student Government Association. All clubs must be approved by the SGA before they will be allowed to hold meetings.

Clubs will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, political affiliation, sex, age, or handicap.

All clubs must have an advisor who is an RCC employee willing to supervise and participate in club activities.

Clubs may not enter into contracts for goods and services without the expressed permission of the club advisor and vice president for student services.

Clubs which do not hold formal meetings at least once per semester may be terminated by the vice president for student services. Such clubs will then be required to request reorganization to begin holding meetings.

Any club that allows illegal or otherwise improper activities or behaviors will be terminated by the vice president for student services. Consequently, a request for reorganization would be required.

Club activities, to include but not limited to cookouts and forums, must be sanctioned by the Student Government Association and be approved by the specific club advisor and the vice president for student services.

All major activities will require that an outline of events, including a budget if appropriate, be submitted to the vice president for student services no later than one month prior to the event. Activities that include community participation may require a detailed synopsis and budget, and should be submitted to the vice president for student services no later than one month prior to the event.

Currently, there are six student organizations at RCC: Campus Crusaders, Common Threads, Phi Beta Lambda, Phi Theta Kappa, the RCC Student Nurse Association, and Uwharrie Dreams.

Campus Crusaders is a club for students that want to fellowship with Christians through Bible study, sharing their thoughts and ideas about how to live a Christian life. All students are invited to participate. The group meets every Monday night at 8 p.m. in room CTC-115 in the Computer Technology Center. For more information, contact Susan Teague in the Arts and Sciences Division at 336-633-0316 or Lisa Hughes in the Office of College Marketing at 336-633-0244.

Common Threads is a lunch table discussion group on prejudice and unity in diversity. The group meets every Wednesday at noon in the SGA meeting room. All students are invited to participate. For more information, contact Chuck Egerton in RCC’s Photographic Technology area.

Phi Beta Lambda is a national organization for individual students preparing for business occupations. RCC’s chapter was chartered in the fall of 2000. For more information, contact Tracie Hayes in RCC’s Business Division.

Phi Theta Kappa is the International Honor Society of the two-year college. Since its founding, the purpose of Phi Theta Kappa has been to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students. To achieve this purpose, Phi Theta Kappa provides opportunity for the development of leadership and service, for an intellectual climate for exchange of ideas and ideals, for lively fellowship for scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence. The society affords international recognition to students of distinguished achievement and provides a vehicle which reflects the academic integrity of the associate degree program. Randolph Community College chartered the Beta Theta Rho chapter of Phi Theta Kappa in November of 1999. For more information, contact Carol Savchak in the Arts and Sciences Division or Waymon Martin in the Business Division.

The RCC Student Nurse Association is a chapter of both the North Carolina Association of Nursing Students (NCANS) and the National Student Nurse Association. The primary focus of the group is to help nursing students become aware of their influence on policy making and stay abreast of the issues related to health care and nursing. The organization serves as a networking mechanism for jobs and educational endeavors. Members seek to have service projects to benefit people in need. For more information, contact Wilhelmina Morris in Associate Degree Nursing.

Uwharrie Dreams is a club for students interested in creative writing, under the auspices of the SGA. It began in 2003, as part of the fine arts activities for RCC students. This group helps students prepare submissions to the RCC literary magazine, Uwharrie Dreams, and to the RCC’s Writers Contest, sponsored annually by the SGA.
