Student Government Association
The Student Government Association (SGA) serves as the representative voice of students, as a major facilitator of new and improved student services and programs, and in an important role relative to student judicial proceedings. All students enrolled in good standing at Lamar State College Orange are eligible to become members of the Student Government Association, affording each student an opportunity to promote, support, and participate in a well-rounded student life program.
The president and officers of the Student Government Association are elected each spring in a general student election. Student senators are elected each semester. Student opinions may be expressed at the open meetings of the SGA, held during the fall and spring semesters every Thursday at 3 P.M. in Student Center Room 202.
Student Organizations
Many student organizations offer membership opportunities in one or more groups: professional, religious, academic, honor, spirit, sports or activity. Participation in student organization activities enhances the education of students, and students are strongly encouraged to affiliate with the organization(s) of their choice and participate in the programs.
Student Center
The Student Center provides facilities for leisure-time recreation and is the campus center for many extracurricular activities. The center includes a TV, café, games, and recreational facilities. All students must present their Lamar State College Orange student identification cards at the front check-in counter in order to use these facilities.
Student Publications
Cypress Branches is a literary journal which encourages and promotes the literary, artistic, and photographic expression of students of Lamar State College Orange. Entries are judged by a qualified panel of judges. Entries are received, judged, published, and awarded prizes every spring semester. Students from all majors and fields of study are encouraged to make submissions.
Recreational Sports
All faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students with valid Lamar State College Orange ID cards have access to the recreational facilities and may participate in activities offered by the College.
Published schedules and reservations allow students, faculty, or staff members to exercise and enjoy competition with friends.
The intramural program provides an opportunity to participate in supervised, competitive sports among groups within the College community. The stated purpose of the intramural program is to promote human understanding, fair play, and behavioral control through the interrelationships occurring in athletic competition.
Further information on any facet of the recreational sports program may be obtained from the Coordinator of Student Activities.
