STUDENT LIFE
ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF SKYLINE COLLEGE
(ASSC) (STUDENT GOVERNMENT)
As a student enrolled at Skyline College, you are also
a member of the Associated Students of Skyline College
(ASSC). The ASSC Governing Council (Student Govern-
ment) is the elected body that represents all Skyline
College students and helps ensure that students have a
voice in the College’s and District’s decision making
processes. As your representative, the ASSC Governing
Council encourages students to be actively involved in
student government.
Students who participate in ASSC Governing Council
represent a variety of ages, backgrounds, interests and
academic majors. Some students have had previous
experience in student government, but many are looking
for the opportunity to gain valuable leadership, planning
and communication skills.
The ASSC Governing Council coordinates and
facilitates the following activities: lobbying at the state
and federal level, planning activities, adopting and super-
vising the ASSC budget, participating in college commit-
tees, and sharing in the development of college policies.
The ASSC also sponsors a wide variety of cultural, social
and educational events throughout the year, for example,
a Welcome Week at the beginning of the Fall semester.

Calendar, contact the Associated Students of Skyline
