Start a New Student Club
Starting a New Student Club
If you don’t see the club you are looking for, maybe it’s time to start one!
Recognizing a Student Club or Organization
New student organizations may be formed when a genuine need has been demonstrated. To start a new student club, students must complete a New Club Packet at the beginning of each semester.
Proposal for a New Club
To create a proposal for a new club, students should contact the Student Government Association to request a New Club Packet. In preparation for the completion of the packet, the new club will need to:
- Collect the names of at least 10 current UMSV students willing to be founding members.
- Create a constitution listing the proposed club’s goal and objectives. The Office of Student Activities will assist in this goal-setting process prior to making the proposal.
- Once the constitution is ready, the founding students present their proposal to the Student Government.
- Each club must have an advisor, selected from the ranks of the full-time faculty or administrators.
- The elected members of the Student Government Senate will vote to approve the club at an SGA meeting.
