Student organizations

Student government, clubs, and activities at Diablo Valley College (DVC) are student initiated and run.  Involvement in student organizations and activities provides opportunities to develop valuable leadership and interpersonal skills that will benefit the student while at DVC, as well as in the future. Students learn to organize and to work with others, pursue special interests, and make friends.
