Students have the opportunity to participate in student government through the Student Advisory Board (SAB). This governing board provides students a voice in college governance, campus concerns and student affairs. The Student Advisory Board is also the umbrella structure for all MTC student clubs and organizations. Representatives of each student organization sit on the SAB as voting members. Any student may attend Advisory Board meetings and voice concerns as a nonvoting member. The Student Advisory Board charters new student organizations, sponsors community services projects and supports Student Activities programming. The Student Advisory Board chair attends the MTC Commission meetings and serves as an advisor on student issues to the Vice President for Student Development Services. The Student Advisory Board also appoints students to college standing and ad hoc committees.
All Midlands Technical College students are automatically members-at-large of the SAB and are encouraged to participate. The executive officers are elected in the spring. Contact the Student Activities Office on either the Beltline or Airport campus for further information.
