As part of its mission, the student life department recognizes such activities as National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, National Health and Wellness Week, and health care and other related issues. The Student Life Office works very closely with other groups and organizations to help promote a variety of areas affecting each student. In addition, the office coordinates events with the City of Lamar and local businesses that help to build bonds between the local and college communities. A goal of the student life is planning processes for social, cultural and recreational activities that explore creative ways for connecting activities to student learning. All campus activities cause learners to feel welcomed and valued as members of the LCC Campus.
Student activities encourage interaction with exceptional role models in each area of the campus.
An important area of student life is the Lamar Community College Student Senate. Elections for the four officer positions are held in the spring of each year. The senate is also the voting body that allocates student fee monies to requesting groups and organizations on campus. Currently, Lamar Community College does not have a student center on campus, and the student senate is searching for ways to create a fee that would allow us to raise money for the construction of a center. Not only are these students heavily involved in the political aspects of LCC and the entire community college system, they are also a very important programming body for the students of the campus.
