Clubs and Groups

There are various clubs available to students at Champlain, such as the Gamer’s Club. The purpose of these clubs is to provide a place to meet new people who share a common interest and to have fun. Newcomers are always welcome!

 

Interested in something that is not represented? Then you can start your own club! The Champlain Students’ Association may be able to provide you with some financial assistance. They can explain the procedures to follow to be sponsored by them.

STUDENT RESOURCE GUIDE

What is SEXed?

We are a group of dedicated peers, supported by a small team of faculty, who are there to answer your questions and help you find what you need, from information to birth control. We support your sexual and romantic priorities with information on consent, healthy relationships, safer sex, peer pressure, and gender and sexual identity. All the Peer Educators have received training from specialist organizations. We organize information campaigns, fun events, a referral service, and safe spaces to explore a wide range of relevant issues. Our approach is non-judgemental, inclusive, diverse, and confidential.

Where can I find SEXed?

Our office is just off the lobby in C-172. Drop by for a lollipop, condom, or a quick chat. If the door is open, come on in.

How do I join SEXed?

SEXed recruits new Peer Educators once or twice a year, depending on need. The best time to join is in the spring, towards the end of your first year. However, we are always happy to hear from interested students, so please let a Peer Educator or teacher know you want to help out!

Green Champlain

What is Green Champlain?

Green Champlain is a student-led environmental group that works to increase the sustainability of the Champlain campus and community.

What are some examples of Green Champlain initiatives?

Every semester, Green Champlain students decide what projects they would like to initiate! Our projects range anywhere from hands-on activities that accomplish concrete results, to education campaigns that sensitize the Champlain community about specific environmental issues. Building a vegetable garden at residence, running a composting service, and offering documentary screenings are only some examples!

How much time must I commit?

You can devote a little bit of your time or a lot… the choice is yours!

What are the advantages of joining Green Champlain?

Green Champlain members can have their volunteer hours officially recognized on their transcript.

Doing your part to help the planet and future generations feels GOOD!
