The average student attends Pierce for two years. It takes a couple months for a student to adjust to their classes, homework, extracurricular activities, and make some friends. The time spent trying to connect at school can be shortened if they join one of Pierce’s clubs. When someone joins a club, others with similar interests as them surround them.  Students can begin to notice familiar faces all around. Clubs give students a sense of purpose and connection.

With the fast paced cycle of students enrolling, transferring, and leaving Pierce College, the many quarters spent here can vary widely in student participation in clubs. Clubs create a good environment for students to learn, relate, and grow together.

There are about 15 clubs at Pierce College. Clubs exist for specific types of people, interests, hobbies, and obsessions. Schedules also vary, from once a month up to twice a week. Student government often holds events to try to get students more involved with clubs. If a club doesn’t have enough members, they cannot be retained.
