The College offers a variety of co-curricular activities that provide students with opportunities to develop leadership skills, engage in social interaction and make a difference in campus life.

The Student Association is the student body of Bunker Hill Community College. All registered students at Bunker Hill Community College automatically become members of the Student Association by paying the required College fees. A portion of these fees funds all of the Student Activities and Athletics programs presented annually on campus. Student Association members are encouraged to participate in various athletic programs, club organizations and Student Association sponsored events. The Student Trustee and officers of the Student Government Association are the elected representatives of the student body; elected student officials are expected to be mature individuals who will responsibly fulfill the requirements of their position while maintaining a record of conduct and behavior that demonstrates integrity, civic responsibility and service to others.

The Student Government Association (SGA) is an elected body of Bunker Hill Community College students that provides the opportunity for students to develop leadership skills. Student Government Association members work in collaboration with the College administration to enhance the quality of student life on campus. Meetings are Tuesdays at 1 pm in E175 during the Academic Year.
