Getting involved on campus
A well-rounded college experience includes
getting involved in campus life. Volunteer
opportunities, part-time employment, athletics,
clubs and associations, Georgian College
Student Association (GCSA) and events on
campus are designed to build connections
between students and enrich their learning
experiences. Involvement in activities outside of
academics enriches the academic experience. It
can also assist you in determining your interests,
build experience for your resumé, and
contribute positively to your community.
Join a club or association, attend or participate
in events or athletics. Students can connect with
the GCSA ofce for information on campus
clubs, check with their First Generation Advisor
about events, visit career services for
information about on-campus employment, or
check out the tness centre (Barrie, Orillia and
Owen Sound) for varsity, intramurals or
extramural opportunities.

I would say that it's really important to seek a balance.
College life really is about balancing the mixture of
social and academic events. It's important to make
College Career and Preparation
connections both in and out of class but it's also important to not tip
the balance too far in either direction.
