Clubs & Organizations
Student clubs are open to all students and provide an opportunity to pursue special interests with those who share them. Students can join any club that interests them or they can start their own. Clubs are required to have a club adviser (an FRC faculty or staff member), and must file for club approval with the Associated Students of FRC (ASFRC) and the Chief Student Services Officer.
Clubs vary from year to year depending on student interest. Current clubs include:
