New Club FAQs
What happens after I submit my new club paperwork?
The ASMC Director of Student Organizations will work with the ASMC President to add your club to a future ASMC Board meeting so the Board members can learn more about your organization and decide whether or not to formally approve your club.
What are the benefits to creating a formal club?
Clubs that are officially recognized by the Associated Students Board of Directors receive additional benefits that general students don't, such as: the ability to reserve indoor and outdoor spaces on campus; the opportunity to request funding from the Associated Students Programming Committee to support club events, activities, and travel; and the chance to add club leadership involvement on academic transcripts, among other benefits.
What is the deadline to create a new club?
The deadline to submit club creation forms for Fall 2020 is Friday, November 6, 2020.
Benefits to getting involved on campus
There are dozens of benefits to joining a student organization! Here are a handful of reasons to get you inspired (adopted from Bentley University's PreparedU site):
-
You will gain practical experience in a safe environment. Participating in a student organization that is focused on your area of study will give you practice experience in that field. Many student organizations also provide opportunities to learn skills in project management and event planning, and you get to test these skills out in a safe environment where making mistakes is okay (and won't cost you your job!).
-
You will gain leadership experience while expanding your resume. Members and leaders of student organizations are often presented with opportunities to improve their public speaking, team management, and conflict resolution skills. And listing your participation in a student organization on your resume will show an employer that you're hard working and can successfully juggle multiple responsibilities. If you do a good job, you might also be able to list your club's faculty advisor as a future internship or job reference too.
-
You will develop soft skills. Soft skills, also know as "people skills," pertain to your ability to effectively collaborate with others. Participating in student organizations can refine your communication and time management skills while helping you develop a good work ethic and emotional intelligence. Participating in student organizations also presents the opportunity to engage with diverse groups of people and can teach you about different cultural backgrounds.
-
You will learn a lot about yourself - and have fun in the process! Student organizations present opportunities for personal growth by providing the chance for you to identify your interests, goals, and strengths. And, student organizations offer opportunities to meet new people and make new friends along the way.
