Social Media Club President Drea Rivera had recently announced on Instagram that the club will not be continued this fall semester at Fresno City College.

The former president of the Social Media Club, Tim Neer, finished his last semester at FCC, leaving Rivera as the new leader. Rivera was the one who made the call and said that the club will not be continued for personal reasons.

“It runs on my mental health, it causes severe burnout, and that’s what’s going on with me right now,” Rivera said.

Despite this, members of the club are still staying connected with each other through different social media platforms and are looking for other alternatives to keep the club going.

“Members of the club reacted to the news as being bummed out and sad that the club was being disbanded,” Rivera said.

Members will still connect with each other both on and off campus even though the club is no longer present. Discord, and Instagram are ways for members to still stay connected. 

There is currently no confirmation if the club will be reopened in the spring semester of 2026. There have been talks for the club to be potentially merged with another club on campus, if other clubs are interested, reach out to her.

“I’m kind of hoping that would possibly happen,” Rivera said. 

One of her priorities with this decision would be making sure that other club members do have the time to join the club.

Rivera wanted to give a sincere apology to all members of the club for stopping it and said it was a really hard and difficult decision to make.

Her final message was to both her members and other clubs.

“To any other clubs out there that are having issues finding officers or admins to get the club together to be in the class for an hour, don’t give up and continue on,” Rivera said. 

The Social Media Club was a way for many people on campus to get information about FCC rather than events, sports or other announcements.

Rivera said that social media was important and was the way of making their club known to others.

 “It is a way for us to welcome new students at Fresno City College,” Rivera said.

It was a way for people to see what FCC was about and what they had to offer to them, a way to grab people’s attention.
