Oconee Campus |

There's a lot more to
GSC-O than the classroom! The
Oconee Campus has a wide variety of student-driven clubs and
organizations which span across different disciplines
and interests. Whether you enjoy academics,
athletics, creativity, cultural studies, philanthropy,
or politics, you're bound to find something fun to do.
Many clubs even offer
co-curricular credit, which can
build your transcript and your future resume.
|
|
Our mission is to enrich students both
academically and personally, offering varied outlets for
social connections and community service. If
there's a club you're interested in, but you don't see
it on the list, let us know! |

welcome everyone from beginners to advanced players, and we have
"club" discs in case you don't own any of your own. We meet
weekly at Herman C. Michael Park here in Watkinsville so come
out and either learn how to play or practice your skills.
