Student Organizations
In collaboration with the Office of Student and Alumni Affairs, BSMCON has several thriving student organizations. Student organizations support the campus community, as well as the local community through service and social events. Below are the following BSMCON student organizations:
Student Government Organization (SGO)
Every student at Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing is a member of the Student Government Organization (SGO), with no fee required to participate. The purpose of SGO is to provide opportunities for students to share their ideas, interests, and concerns related to nursing education with their peers. Membership is open to all, and participation fosters a sense of responsibility and leadership.
SGO Goals
- Encourage the highest standards of honor and integrity in all professional and social conduct
- Provide opportunities for students to share ideas, interests, and concerns related to nursing education with peers across the College
- Foster an atmosphere of cooperation, understanding, and open communication among students, faculty, and administration
