Housatonic Community College

Student Life

Many activities and events enhance student life at Housatonic, making it a very special place. Student activities, events and programs enrich the total student educational experience by providing a broad range of social, cultural, and recreational events. Students who are involved in the planning and implementation of such activities have the opportunity to develop skills in human relations, group process, legislative procedures, program planning and evaluation, and financial management. Those who participate in college activities and events often develop lasting friendships with their fellow students and faculty. The Director of Student Life & Activities, can be reached in the Student Life office, on the 3rd floor in Beacon Hall in the Student Activities area along with Student Clubs and the Student Senate offices.

The Student Life office is located in C110
