Taft College Student Center
The Taft College Student Center is a one-stop shop for the things many students enjoy: hanging out, eating, and shopping. Students are welcome to go there between classes to relax, play board games, or challenge their friends in pool, ping pong, or foosball. Charging stations are available to charge your phone, iPad, etc. Students wanting to get involved in clubs can go to the Associated Student Organization (ASO) Student Leaders office or meet with the Student Life and Basic Needs Coordinator to learn about clubs or how to start a new club. Both are in Room #306.
