To round out and really make the most of your technical college experience, we encourage all students to participate in various student life activities as much as possible.
Understanding that students already have a lot going on, student life activities provide valuable networking opportunities and can greatly enhance learning and social opportunities through the college. In some cases, for example with clubs and organizations, you can apply knowledge in practical ways and develop strengths in areas where you have less knowledge or experience.
Your college experience should be what you want it to be. Wisconsin's technical colleges offer many different things to do in addition to your time in class. There are clubs to join, great places to hang out on campus, and services to help you every step of the way.
One of the biggest reasons so many high school students – and their parents – consider a four-year university is to get the real ‘college experience’. Experiencing life in the dorms, playing sports, attending games, and joining clubs are all important rites of passage. And they are all things also offered by Wisconsin’s technical colleges.
Ann Ilagan graduated from Mid-State Technical College with her associate degree in Business Management, but not before making her mark on student government statewide. Ilagan was elected by her peers to a second term as Wisconsin Student Government (WSG) president, giving her the rare honor of being reelected to the role. She will continue as president while continuing part-time at Mid-State.
