What is ICC?
The Student Government Association's (SGA) Inter Club Council (ICC), is made up of representatives from each of the Mt. San Jacinto College District Chartered Clubs, including the SGA Vice President for the San Jacinto and Menifee Valley Campuses who serve as the ICC President/Meeting Chair for the corresponding campus.
As stated in the SGA Constitution: ICC possesses the authority to both govern, and administrate all activities of these student-based organizations. All student-driven organizations must be chartered through and have their events approved by the ICC in order to be acknowledged by and receive support from SGA and the Student Life & Development Program (SLDP).
Mission Statement
The students of Mt. San Jacinto College come together, as members of the Inter Club Council (ICC), in their collective efforts to promote the diversity of passions and interests embedded in representing clubs of the ICC within the Mt. San Jacinto College District. We recognize the importance of being actively involved in the things we care about, and hope to encourage student participation through our organizations, while working towards full representation of all student perspectives. As clubs we will promote the general welfare of our students, our college, and our community.
The ICC meets weekly during the Fall and Spring semesters in person linked via Zoom between SJC and MVC.
