STARTING A NEW STUDENT ORGANIZATION<br />
Ruth S. Harley <strong>University</strong> Center, Room 110<br />
<strong>Campus</strong> ext. 3603<br />
Center for <strong>Student</strong> Involvement<br />
The Center for <strong>Student</strong> Involvement (CSI) encourages students <strong>to</strong> participate in clubs and<br />
organizations <strong>to</strong> further develop their leadership skills. The center recognizes, as the times<br />
change, the interests of students change—ultimately affecting the clubs on campus. This is why<br />
the CSI, in conjunction with the <strong>Student</strong> Government Association, created a process for students<br />
who are interested in starting a new club—the New Club Recognition Process. Below are the<br />
steps on how <strong>to</strong> start a club and how <strong>to</strong> obtain recognition.<br />
<strong>Student</strong>(s) must review the available active clubs on campus and their mission statement prior<br />
<strong>to</strong> attempting <strong>to</strong> start a new club. No new club will be accepted if it has a similar purpose <strong>to</strong><br />
another established club on campus.<br />
At least one student from the proposed club’s Executive Board (president, vice president,<br />
secretary or treasurer) must meet with the Center for <strong>Student</strong> Involvement and <strong>Student</strong><br />
Government Association internal vice president <strong>to</strong> discuss the New Club Recognition Process.<br />
This meeting occurs bimonthly. Please visit the Center for <strong>Student</strong> Involvement located in the<br />
<strong>University</strong> Center, Room 110, <strong>to</strong> set up an appointment.<br />
The proposed club must complete and submit the New Club Application Form. The New Club<br />
Application Form will be provided <strong>to</strong> the student organization representative at the initial<br />
meeting and must be completed and returned <strong>to</strong> the Center for <strong>Student</strong> Involvement. If the<br />
application is not received within six (6) weeks of the meeting, the representative must also set<br />
up a meeting <strong>to</strong> speak <strong>to</strong> CSI <strong>to</strong> discuss the delay and ensure that the student organization will<br />
be able <strong>to</strong> complete the recognition process.<br />
The proposed club must create and submit a constitution with the completed application.<br />
The constitution contains vital information about the club, including purpose, Executive<br />
Board positions and duties, and election and impeachment procedures. Please see the sample<br />
constitution below for more information.<br />
