Academic Civic Engagement through Service
The ACES Program involves active participants in the local community, selflessly giving of our time and talents. We are not just volunteers, but students with a unique opportunity to challenge ourselves outside the realm of academia. Connections are made (through reflection logs, journals, class presentations, meeting with instructors and meetings with other students) between classroom work and work in service. We also take an active role in teaching others—in our classes, in our friendships and in our communities.

Members experience art appreciation through a variety of field trips and special events.

Collegiate DECA (Cowley Chapter) is a business organization open to any student preparing for careers in business and business-related fields or an interest in business. Specifically, Finance and Accounting, Marketing and Communications, Entrepreneurship, Hospitality and Tourism, Business Management and Administration.

This student activity was incorporated by the Kansas State Department of Education to showcase quality teaching and learning at the community college level. In the fall and spring semesters, students participate in scrimmages and regional and state competitions with other community colleges in Kansas. At the state competition, student teams have the opportunity to win from $400 to $800. Since no individual is an expert in all subject areas, this is a collaborative team effort.

Peer to Peer Suicide Prevention Program

Hope Squad members will learn about mental health crisis, how to identify signs of crisis, and how to refer others to assistance.
