Student Organizations
FPCC encourages and supports the activities of several student-oriented organizations that, in turn, promote the mission and educational programs of the College. These student organizations are established and operate under charters and by-laws approved by the Student Services Vice President, the FPCC President and the Board of Directors. All student organizations have faculty and staff advisors, and actively fundraise throughout the academic year so members can attend conferences and seminars. These organizations also provide students various other self-development and institutional development activities.
The following are officially sanctioned student organizations:
- American Indian Business Leaders
- American Indian Science & Engineering Society
- Anime Club
- Blue Stone Indian Club
- Chess Club
- Dakȟóta Iápi Ókhuwa
- Student Senate
Students may initiate new organizations. The scope of new organizations is determined by student interest. Students may join other students in a continually growing number of organizations or may lend their talents to various committees. For more information on student organizations, please see the FPCC Student Handbook. All students who participate in official college sponsored extra-curricular activities must be in good academic standing with FPCC. Students participating in college organizations must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0. Students who represent the college in official FPCC extra-curricular activities, such as AIHEC Spring Conference Business Team and College Bowl, must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0.
