29 Pride Alliance ADELPHI UNIVERSITY • GUIDE TO STUDENT LIFE Pride Alliance is a strong and vital student group at Adelphi. Working to foster not only a welcoming and safe space for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students, this organization also promotes understanding and acceptance of all people within the University community. United Nations Society The United Nations Society raises awareness of social responsibility and encourages students to participate in public affairs. Students get acquainted with the workings, function, structure and values of the United Nations and similar organizations. They coordinate various events, such as panel discussions, debates and a celebration of UN Day. CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS Females of Culture United for Success As Females of Culture United for Success (F.O.C.U.S.), members move to encourage a diverse spirit and strong leadership among all females at Adelphi, and to aspire to be the voice of female empowerment. The organization’s purposeful and industrious undertaking is to unite females from all cultures, which is one of the many strengths of F.O.C.U.S. Men of Color Alliance Men of Color Alliance (M.O.C.A.) is a newly established organization at Adelphi with a focus on building dedication, scholarship and professionalism in minority men. Recognizing the plummeting percentages of minority men that go to and stay in college, the organization also pursues the recruitment and retention of men of various cultures and backgrounds to encourage completion of a college education. The mission has defined the organization’s name; however, the club is open to students of any race or gender, and members are encouraged to understand the goal of this organization. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a national organization whose purpose is to improve the political, educational, social and economic status of minority groups; to eliminate racial prejudice; and to keep the public aware of the adverse effects of racial discrimination. RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS Christian Fellowship Christian Fellowship brings students together through weekly Bible studies, prayer meetings and other fellowship activities. The group provides an opportunity for meaningful friendships and serious religious study. Hillel This Jewish student organization offers a wide range of activities enabling Jewish students to interact in cultural, educational, traditional and social settings, including events, parties, concerts and trips with Hillel groups from other New York metropolitan campuses. Students should also consult Hillel with respect to their religious needs including finding kosher food on and off campus, or attending religious services at local synagogues.
Muslim Students Association The Muslim Students Association (MSA) functions as a forum for students to meet and get to know one another, hold meetings, offer weekly Friday prayers (Jum’a) and host functions, such as Ramadan activities. The Imam serves as the adviser to the MSA and is a resource person for the students. Newman Club The Newman Club, the Catholic student organization on campus, provides opportunities for spiritual growth, community service and social activities for the student body. The students involved in the Newman Club actively participate in Catholic Campus Ministry activities and conduct weekly events on campus. Voices of Inspirational Praise The intention of Voices of Inspirational Praise is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ by inspiring the Adelphi community to connect with God through song and the word of God. With a mission to keep the student community connected in faith through weekly meetings, members encourage each other through scripture and songs. STARTING A NEW STUDENT ORGANIZATION Ruth S. Harley University Center, Room 110 Campus ext. 3603 Center for Student Involvement The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) encourages students to participate in clubs and organizations to further develop their leadership skills. The center recognizes, as the times change, the interests of students change—ultimately affecting the clubs on campus. This is why the CSI, in conjunction with the Student Government Association, created a process for students who are interested in starting a new club—the New Club Recognition Process. Below are the steps on how to start a club and how to obtain recognition. Student(s) must review the available active clubs on campus and their mission statement prior to attempting to start a new club. No new club will be accepted if it has a similar purpose to another established club on campus. At least one student from the proposed club’s Executive Board (president, vice president, secretary or treasurer) must meet with the Center for Student Involvement and Student Government Association internal vice president to discuss the New Club Recognition Process. This meeting occurs bimonthly. Please visit the Center for Student Involvement located in the University Center, Room 110, to set up an appointment. The proposed club must complete and submit the New Club Application Form. The New Club Application Form will be provided to the student organization representative at the initial meeting and must be completed and returned to the Center for Student Involvement. If the application is not received within six (6) weeks of the meeting, the representative must also set up a meeting to speak to CSI to discuss the delay and ensure that the student organization will be able to complete the recognition process. The proposed club must create and submit a constitution with the completed application. The constitution contains vital information about the club, including purpose, Executive Board positions and duties, and election and impeachment procedures. Please see the sample constitution below for more information. 30
