Student Organizations and Activities

Student organizations and activities are an integral part of student life at Coastal Pines Technical College and are strongly supported by the faculty and staff. We firmly believe that the student’s academic life is greatly enhanced through involvement in activities that develop and promote professionalism and interaction with other students. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in one or more of several student professional organizations sanctioned by the college. The active student organizations at CPTC are listed below.

Student Government Association ensures that the students have a voice in what goes on around campus. SGA helps to vote on how the Student Activity fee, which all traditional students pay when taking classes is used and what they may want to see on their campus for various student activities. The SGA is comprised of an executive board (President, Vice President, and Secretary) and general members, called Senators. All SGA members must be elected by the student body or appointed by the SGA executive officers in the case of vacancies.

SkillsUSA is the #1 workforce development organization for students. We empower students to become skilled professionals, career-ready leaders and responsible community members. Students are given the opportunity to compete at the state and national level to demonstrate competency in skills they are already learning in the classroom, such as welding fabrication, CPR, or nursing. Students also learn personal, workplace, and technical skills, build their resumes, and meet others on campus.
