Student Leadership Collective

The Student Leadership Collective (SLC) comprises the Barnard Student Government Association (SGA), the Governing Board at Barnard, and the McIntosh Activities Council (McAC). The SLC was created to recognize the distinct and important roles and responsibilities of each organization on campus: SGA are elected officers who represent students’ concerns; GBB governs student clubs and supports student leaders, and McAC plans campus events for the Barnard community. The Student Leadership Collective Office is located in the Diana Center Anna Quindlen Room (inside Liz’s Place, Diana Center 1st Floor).

The Student Government Association of Barnard College (SGA) aims to facilitate the expression of opinions on matters affecting the Barnard community through active communication between students, administration and faculty. With various forums for collaboration, such as committees and weekly Representative Council meetings, SGA strives to promote open dialogue and action that will enhance student life at Barnard College. All Barnard College students, by virtue of having paid student activities fees, are members of the SGA.

The Governing Board at Barnard (GBB) upholds the values of Barnard College by promoting the personal and intellectual development of students as leaders. We hold GBB clubs and their members to the high expectations of Barnard College: rigorous standards, self-awareness, holistic learning, and social accountability. Reflective of the Barnard mission statement, GBB believes that participation and leadership in student clubs will empower students “to achieve the personal strength that will enable them to meet the challenges they will encounter throughout their lives.” We strive to provide a strong sense of community and dedication to student life on Barnard's campus.

The McIntosh Activities Council (McAC) is Barnard's programming board and plans some of annual campus traditions including Big Sub, Midnight Breakfast, the Emily Gregory Dinner, Founder's Day, and Spirit Week! Each committee (Community, Action, Network, Wellness, and Mosiac) plan other great events throughout the year.

Clubs and Organizations

BLT (Barnard Leadership Training) for GBB Clubs

As in past years, for GBB-recognized groups, we will combine BLT with Being Barnard Leaders, an annually hosted mandatory sexual assault and violence prevention training for student leaders. Attendance to one BLT/Being Barnard Leaders session is MANDATORY for all executive board members of GBB recognized groups, Skip Stop, and the Bulletin. Clubs with dual recognition are still required to attend BLT/Being Barnard Leaders at Barnard.

These sessions are the only opportunity for student groups to complete this requirement. Student groups whose entire executive board does not attend one of these sessions will not be able to access funds or reserve space on Barnard’s campus for that academic year.

The sessions can include thematic information/exercises based on some group classifications (i.e. Cultural groups and Performance groups).

For student groups that wish to program on the Columbia campus, please visit Columbia’s Events Management website for more information.

BLT for Non-GBB Clubs

BLT at Barnard is required for all recognized clubs interested in reserving space on Barnard's campus. Each non-GBB club may send up to two representatives to BLT. The two representatives who attend will serve as the club's VEMS designees during the academic year.

Activities Fair

The Activities Fair at Barnard will take place in the Event Oval to allow new and returning students the opportunity to check out all of the recognized clubs on campus. All GBB recognized groups, SGA, McAC, The Bulletin, the Clay Collective, and Skip-Stop will be able to register for the Activities Fair at Barnard. Student groups may need to share a 6’ table. Please plan your decorations and volunteers accordingly.

If you have any questions regarding student club registration please email: clubadvisors@barnard.edu orgbb@barnard.edu.
