Becoming a SG Recognized Club
Wilkes University encourages involvement in extracurricular activities as an integral part of student development. The University recommends that all student clubs or organizations seek recognition. Recognition grants the club/organization the ability to use campus facilities upon the approval of the appropriate University official, to request funds from Student Government and to benefit from the accounting procedures of the Office of Financial Management and the Coordinator of Student Activities. All campus clubs/organizations must have active membership of at least five students and be open to all students; consequently, groups that are exclusive do not exist at Wilkes University.
PROCDURE:
1. The Coordinator of Student Activities should be contacted and notified of the intention to establish a new club/organization.
2. A notice of intent to organize a new club/organization should be advertised campus-wide and organization meetings should be held.
3. An advisor (professional staff member) must be selected and approved by the President.
4. The prospective club/organization must submit a constitution to the Student Government for review. This constitution must minimally include the following:
A. Club/organization name.
B. Statement of open membership.
C. Statement of purpose.
D. Officers and duties.
E. Elections and voting eligibility.
F. Provision for removal and replacement of officers.
G. Provision for amendments and revisions.
5. The constitution must be presented to Student Government at two consecutive meetings. Student Government can send the constitution back for review and revision before agreeing to vote on it.
6. If a Student Government majority passes the constitution, the club/organization is recognized.
