The Student Activities department complements the student’s academic experience through
the development of, exposure to, and participation in social, cultural, multicultural,
intellectual, recreational, community service and campus governance programs.
Opportunities for the development of leadership, social and interpersonal relationships,
skills and character are offered through participation in recognized campus organizations.
Included among these are professional and honorary societies related to the academic
areas of the college, departmental organizations, service and social organizations
and recreational groups. Each organization, in fulfilling its obligation as a part
of the college, has a faculty member, staff member, or administrator as an advisor.
All social activities planned by the student organizations are held under the supervision
of the organization's advisor.
To inquire about creating a new organization, please contact the Coordinator of Student
Activities, Room E-306 or (815) 224-0509.
The Student Government Association (SGA) is the officially recognized student government
organization at IVCC.
The SGA, composed of four officers and a student representative to the Board of Trustees,
three representatives of the freshman and three representatives of the sophomore classes
(based on enrollment), meet to discuss matters of concern to the entire student body
and to plan events and activities for students at the college. In addition, members
of SGA serve with faculty and administrators on various committees.
Watch for notices regarding Student Government petitioning and elections during September
and April. Questions regarding the Student Government Association, its membership,
and activities should be directed to the Coordinator of Student Activities, Room E-306
or (815) 224-0509.
The Student Government Office is located in the New Student Life Space (Room E-201B). Member office hours are posted on the office door.
Students annually elect a student representative to the IVCC Board of Trustees. This
student board member participates in every meeting of the board and provides student
input concerning all phases of the college's operation. The student trustee has all
the rights and privileges of the other trustees except in the manner of voting. The
student trustee has the right to make and second motions, and attend executive sessions.
The student trustee may also cast an advisory vote on all matters on which the Board
votes. This vote should be made prior to any vote of other Board members and should
be recorded in the official minutes. Watch for notices regarding SGA petitioning and
elections during September and April.
Questions regarding the SGA, its membership and activities, or the Student Trustee
should be directed to Cory Tomasson, SGA Advisor/Coordinator of Student Activities.
