Student Activities Department
Introduction
SKC Student Activities Department works to promote a rich, diverse, and intellectually stimulating college experience for every student. Working with other organizations, the office helps to create campus opportunities that expose students to new ideas and experiences. In addition, the office tries to infuse the campus with a sense of community and family. This office also works with the SKC Student Senate in coordinating campus activities that reflect the needs, hopes and desires of the general student population. Activities include campus speakers, poetry readings, talent shows, theater visits, film presentations, Family Night Programs, holiday theme evenings and community-wide dinners. Annual events include the Harvest Dinner, Spring Fling, Culture Night, Games Day, and the Student Awards Program. The office also sets up recreational events such as hiking, camping, skiing, softball, and rafting. Through this office, the SKC Intramural Program operates with both basketball and volleyball.
Athletics
Salish Kootenai College athletics offers men’s and women’s basketball. We are the Bison, and our colors are Maroon and Gold. Our teams are composed of students who have an interest in playing competitive basketball past high school.
The College has about 25 games scheduled against college varsity and junior varsity programs throughout Montana, Washington, North Dakota and Wyoming. Games are currently being scheduled for next season. At SKC, we draw on both education and athletics as a means of preparing our students for both work and life. Prospective student-athletes will find the classes motivating, the campus environment welcoming, and the surrounding area sociable.
