How to Create an Organization
Clubs and Organizations are an essential part of the culture and experience for students who attend Tallahassee Community College. They are leaders not only on campus but also in the Tallahassee community. Organizations at TCC address the various and unique of our students, and are continually expanding and growing along with the needs of our student body. They provide numerous opportunities for learning outside the classroom, camaraderie, and service back into the community.
If you are not faculty, staff, or a student at Tallahassee Community College and wish to contact the organizations, email who you are, your contact information, your organization, mission, which organizations you wish to get in contact with, and purpose for contact to StudentLife@tcc.fl.edu and they will disseminate from there.
Clubs and Organizations are formed and run by students. If you would like to discuss starting a new organization, email StudentLife@tcc.fl.edu or visit the office of Student Life (SU 185).

The BMA program provides mentoring, academic advising, and academic and professional skill development via workshops and guest speakers all with the objective of helping our student members accomplish their goals of earning an associate’s degree, transferring to a university, and/or entering the workforce. Each member is expected to attend weekly workshops or guest speaker activities and actively participate in community service opportunities. Those students who meet those and other requirements are eligible to apply for a Strides scholarship that requires participants to conduct research on a topic and present that research in some capacity (e.g., student symposium, social media platform, etc.).

Hispanic Alliance for Talented Students (H.A.T.S.)
This organization promotes intercultural understanding and empowerment for Hispanic students. A new cohort of Hispanic students is selected each academic year term and encourages students from the Leon, Gadsden, Wakulla, or surrounding counties (within the state of Florida) to join. These students will matriculate at TCC together as they are placed in similar courses and activities that engage them in career building and goal-setting enrichment sessions.
It is the purpose of this student lead organization to facilitate a better understanding of international decision-making. Through participation in regional and international conferences, where they debate issues from the perspective of their chosen country, such as human rights, military conflicts, and international economics, students benefit from a greater awareness of international issues. This heightened awareness, along with a better understanding of the perspective of other nations in the world, also facilitates greater academic capabilities because of the necessary preparation.
