2026 COCA National Conference

At Marianopolis College, a campus of roughly 2,200 students with over 150 student clubs and only two years for students to get involved before graduating, student ambition can grow faster than student capacity. This session explores the challenges that come with highly motivated student leaders trying to do too much, too quickly, and how a newly developed club system was designed to create more sustainable leadership, stronger club continuity, clearer expectations, and healthier long-term student involvement without crushing creativity or initiative.
