Student Essentials

STUDENT LIFE

At Mercer County Community College, we believe your campus life experience can be just as important as what you learn in the classroom. Student life fosters a vibrant and engaging environment that inspires students for growth in leadership, community outreach, self discovery, networking, and collaboration.

New Student Orientation

Student Life professionals introduce new students to the college at an orientation each Fall and Spring semester. The program acquaints students with the services, policies, responsibilities, and rewards of attending MCCC.

Orientations generally include information about student support programs, a campus tour, and workshops on topics such as financial aid, tips for success, and navigating the online apps needed for classes. Additionally, the orientations offer students structured activities for meeting other students, faculty, and college staff.

Student Life and Leadership

A variety of activities offers personal enrichment and extracurricular academic enhancement, significantly adding to the student’s Mercer experience. Students are encouraged to take part in student clubs, organizations, event offerings, and programs.

Participation helps students develop skills in leadership, communication, community service, civic responsibility, health and wellness, networking, social interests, cultural appreciation, and problem-solving.
