These clubs have representatives on both main campuses.
Campus Activities Team
The Campus Activities Team started in the spring semester of 2008. Formally known as Student Forum, a name change was proposed to express the team-centered purpose of C.A.T. Members of the C.A.T. give suggestions of preference for student events and express their opinion about other campus issues. Membership is open to all SVCC students. This club meets monthly and often provides assistance during student activities.
