Student Life
The Office of Student Life develops student leaders who
are committed to personal growth and are dedicated, involved, and engaged in
their communities through intentional programming, student organization
participation, and building meaningful relationships within an inclusive
learning environment. We believe student involvement on campus provides an
avenue for intellectual, career, educational, and personal growth and
development. Involvement can also enhance what is being learned in the
classroom. The Office of Student Life facilitates student learning in three main ways: Involvement,
Leadership, and Community Engagement.
Involvement
- Attend a campus event, such as lectures, speakers,
panel discussions, cultural fairs and festivals, awareness days, and concerts. Last
year, we hosted a Safe Trick-or-Treat, MLK Jr. Celebration, Leadership Meet and
Greet, Open Mic Night, and many more!
- Join a Student-Led Organization (SLO). Current active
SLOs are LatinX, LGBTQA Alliance,
Phi Theta Kappa, Student Government Association, Operation Smile, Inclusive Excellence Student Council, and Computer & Digital Club. You can also start a
new SLO!
- StrengthsQuest workshops are free workshops that
help you understand your natural talents, and how to use those talents for
academic and personal success. Workshops are held twice a semester and food is
provided.
Leadership Initiatives
myQUEST is a leadership program open to all students.
With over 360,000,000 definitions of leadership, how do you define leadership?

Student Government Association
The Student Government Association (SGA), funded by
student fees, represents the student body and serves as a liaison between the
faculty, administration, and the student body in areas of mutual interest. The
purpose of the SGA is to promote student leadership and college spirit, provide
a forum for discussion between students and administration, and give students a
representative voice in college affairs. In short, SGA works for the students!
It is SGA’s duty to voice the best interests of CCA students and
to assist students with any issues they might have – no matter how large
or small – to make their college experience better. If you have suggestions,
ideas, please email SGA.CCAurora@gmail.com.
Phi Theta Kappa
Phi Theta Kappa is the International Honor Society of two-year colleges. The Alpha Pi Pi Chapter is housed at CCA in the Office of Student Life, and encourages members to participate in community service and develop leadership skills. Alpha Pi Pi also provides a means for scholars with high academic achievements to share their knowledge with the college. Students who have achieved a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 and above and have completed at least 12 credit hours at CCA are invited to join. Phi Theta Kappa sends invitations for membership at the beginning of every semester. Email us at PTK@ccaurora.edu.
