Student Activities
Based on student surveys and the college's desire to engage students in extracurricular
activities to supplement our academic offerings, we have expanded the recreational and social activities offered. We welcome you to check our Student Activities Calendar so you won't miss out on these exciting happenings! Please contact Bill Furr or Lester Keith for more information about student activities.
Intercollegiate Athletics
Glen Oaks is a member of the Michigan Community College Athletic Association (MCCAA) and the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). The college
competes in men's and women's basketball, men's baseball, women's softball, and golf. The MCCAA and NJCAA regulate athletic competition, and establish eligibility standards for member colleges. Glen Oaks subscribes to these standards and rigidly enforces them. It is possible, with changing student interest or cost, that intercollegiate sports may be added or dropped when necessary. Visit our Athletics Department web pages to see our teams and their current schedules.
Music
The college offers an opportunity for students to join an active vocal music group and/or an instrumental ensemble group. These groups provide college credit, if desired, as well as an opportunity to develop and express creative talents.
Phi Theta Kappa
Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society for community college students. The Alpha Delta Omega chapter of Phi Theta Kappa is chartered at Glen Oaks Community College. Hallmarks for the society are scholarship, leadership, service, and fellowship. Students who maintain a 3.30 GPA while in a degree program are invited to become members and may reach the level of enhanced membership through active participation in the society.
