What is ASPCC?
ASPCC stands for Associated Students of Portland Community College. ASPCC is the student government that represents student needs and serves as a united voice for students on campus. We advocate for students in committees district-wide and bring a student
opinion to the table when discussing issues such as educational programs, allocation
of funds, bond measures, security, transportation, cafeteria issues, legislative advocacy, textbooks, facilities, and much, much more! In short, we make sure that PCC takes students into account when deciding on it's varied policies.
We also organize campus and district programming by hosting events of all kinds year-round. The programming division consists of Social Programs, Community Service and Diversity programming. For more information on the kinds of events we host, check out our "Events we do" page. Next to the programming team, we also have an executive team. The executive team consists of the Student Body President, the Legislative Director, the Environmental Sustainability Coordinator, and the Social Programs coordinator. The executive team's collective goal is to address budget issues and funding.
The legislative director is in charge of actively informing and engaging students about political issues and registering people to vote, as well as bringing political issues and candidates to the campus and engaging students in a dialog about legislation and politics.
The Student Body President acts as point of contact between PCC's administration and student government, and works on bringing issues from the PCC administration to the group. He is also present at PCC Board Of Directors meetings and is the chair of several committees.
Our third area of focus is sustainability. This year, for the first time, we have an Environmental Sustainability Coordinator who exclusively works for ASPCC. The Enviro Coordinator works with students, student government and PCC committees and staff to promote the idea of sustainability on campus through events, outreach, and other activities.
Intramurals is staffed by ASPCC's very own Intramurals Coordinator. Intramurals seeks to get students involved on campus by organizing large and small scale sporting events and tournaments, ranging from volleyball and soccer tournaments to bowling nights and video game tournaments.
Last but not least, the Outreach Coordinators Day/Night are in charge of running the student lounge, the first point of contact with student government for students. The Outreach Coordinators seek to make students feel comfortable on campus, provide them with advice and information, help them out with any questions, and actively inform them of ASPCC's goals and programs through tabling, advocacy, events and other outreach work.
