participate in shared governance, learn parliamentary procedures, become familiar with<br />
Roberts Rules of Order, and the mandates of the Brown Act. Students get firsthand<br />

through their weekly ASHC Senate meetings.<br />
STUDENT CLUBS , ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS<br />
The college has an extensive and growing list of formal student clubs and organizations.<br />
Those clubs are represented by the Inter-Club Council (ICC) and that council has a<br />
permanent seat on the Student Senate via the Vice President of the Inter-Club Council. There<br />
are a variety of clubs and each club must select a formal club advisor (generally a faculty<br />
member) and is provided specific advice and services by the Student Life Coordinator.<br />
Student options for club involvement include: journalism club, digital arts club, <strong>Hartnell</strong><br />
cheer club, physics club, society of physics students, pre-pharmacy science club, celebrating<br />
recovery club, MEChA, rockets and robot club, students interested in medicine association,<br />
students in free enterprise club, chemistry club, women in science exploration, and others.<br />
Combined, these clubs allow students to explore civic, artistic, social, academic, and personal<br />
development and service. (II.B.32)<br />
The ICC provides an effective, organized, and set of fair policies and procedures so that all<br />
clubs have the opportunity to grow, meet their goals, and have an impact. Through the<br />
student activity fees collected and other fundraising efforts, the Student Senate can approve<br />
funding requests in support of activities and events by student clubs. Throughout a typical<br />
year, student clubs host a variety of fundraising events on campus and in the community.<br />
Together, they and the ASHC support or host activities such as Panther Days, Cinco de<br />
Mayo, Black History Month, and numerous other events. (II.B.33)<br />
To develop creative, artistic, and aesthetic skills, the Western Stage (The college‘s theater<br />
arts program and production facility), provides students with artistic development and acting<br />
opportunities, as well as student discounts to performances. In addition, the college‘s art<br />
gallery displays the art work of our students at gallery shows throughout the year. The<br />
college offers musical performances in genres of jazz and orchestra.<br />
Beyond these programs, the college provides even more opportunities for students to develop<br />
and refine their civic, social, artistic, service, and personal skills. The college is home to the<br />
Math, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) program<br />
http://www.hartnell.edu/mesa/ and this program provides students in these academic<br />
disciplines the opportunity to provide mentoring, advising, tutoring, and other support<br />
services to fellow students. As an additional example, EOPS/CARE/CalWorks Peer<br />
Advisors-often they are first point of contact so they are trained to help students maneuver<br />
through <strong>College</strong> services.<br />
Other specific campus events, celebrations, programs, and services that help students develop<br />
personal and civic responsibility as well as intellectual, aesthetic, and personal attributes are:<br />
