Student Leadership and Campus Life
The Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life is committed to promoting campus life and student leadership through cultural, social, and leadership development. Along with a strong intramural sports program, Del Mar College (DMC) has more than 30 clubs and organizations, providing students exposure to community projects, leadership, and volunteer opportunities.
Campus Life
There are three ways you can participate in campus life—through student organizations, cultural programs, and intramural sports.
1. Registered Student Organizations
Many leadership opportunities exist for you to pursue your special interests by joining one of the many Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) on campus.
Departmental
Departmental RSOs are organized to give you opportunities for self-expression and leadership in activities related to your major field of study.
Special interest
Special interest RSOs are organized to serve and to promote special interest areas for you such as governmental affairs, writing, physical, and recreational activities or religious groups.
Honorary
Honorary RSOs sponsor activities that promote and encourage scholarship, leadership, and fellowship among students. Your membership in honorary organizations is selective based on academic achievement.
If you are not part of a recognized club and wish to conduct an activity on campus which contributes to the educational and cultural environment of the College, you must obtain permission from the Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life. Approved requests will be scheduled at a time and location that will not interrupt other activities on campus.
2. Cultural Programs
Several informative and entertaining events—from concerts to theatrical productions to lectures—are scheduled each semester and are free of charge if you have a valid Del Mar College ID. The programs are paid for by your student services fee and are selected by the Cultural Programs Series Committee.
3. Intramural and Recreational Sports
Del Mar College’s intramural and recreational sports program is designed to provide opportunities for athletic competition and physically active recreation for all currently enrolled academic students as well as employees of the College. It is the goal of the intramural and recreational sports program to be as broad as possible, offering you opportunities to participate in a variety of activities. The intramural and recreational sports program is funded by your student services fee.
Activities
You may participate in organized intramural activities including tournaments, leagues and special events. These may include team and individual sports for men, women, and co-recreational competition. For information, please call (361) 698-1337.
Facilities
With a currently validated Del Mar College ID card, you may use the recreational facilities including a gymnasium, 25-meter indoor pool, fitness center, jogging track, racquetball and tennis courts. The facilities are also available on weekdays and weekends during non-class hours. For information, call (361) 698-1334.
