Student Governance Council
MCCA Convention
Seven students from STLCC-Meramec joined 83 other students from Missouri community colleges at the Missouri Community College Association (MCCA) convention in Jefferson City from Feb. 21-23.
Students participated in team building exercises, participated in a mock trial, lobbied Missouri senators, and submitted proposals to the MCCA Student Government for amendments to the SGC constitution.
Mike Roman, Meramec student body president who attended the convention, said that the image of community colleges in Missouri is changing. “People are beginning to realize that community colleges can be a good thing for a lot of people,” Roman said.
