Establishing a New Organization

The Center for Student Engagement can assist any student in the development of a new student organization. Chances are, if a student is interested in a new club, there will be other students as well! To be recognized by Saint Francis University and to receive funding through the Student Government Association, the following requirements must be met:

1) A prepared constitution which establishes and explains the clubs mission and purpose;

2) A statement from a full-time employee of the University of his/her willingness to serve as the clubs advisor;

3) A list of planned activities;

4) A list of proposed members (minimum of 10);

5) A list of full time, undergraduate student officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer);

6) Unrestricted membership.

If you are considering starting a new club or organization on campus contact the Center for Student Engagement or email studentlife@francis.edu
