Clubs
Joining a student club provides opportunities that can assist you with career skills, personal development, and help you make new friends along the way with similar interests to yours!
Western Wyoming Community College’s student-led clubs are a true strength of our campus community. The clubs range from professional to social settings, hosting events of all kinds both on and off campus. Plus, these organizations greatly enrich our students' time here at Western.
How to Join a Club?
To join an active club, you can email the club advisor listed under the chartered club name or email studentlife@westernwyoming.edu with your name and the club you're interested in joining. From there, we'll connect you with someone in that club. The Student Life department can be found in the Dean of Students Office (2006).
To start a club at Western, the club must be chartered through our Student Government Association. You must fill out the Club Chartering Request in its entirety to be considered for charter. If you have any questions about the form, email studentlife@westernwyoming.edu.
Why Join a Club?
The easiest way to network with Western students who have similar interests is to join a student-led club. The people you meet can help you continue your passion and learn how to succeed as a team.
Learning how to interact with other people from different backgrounds can be a huge benefit as you move into the working world. This is also an opportunity to polish your social skills.
If you join a student club focused on professional development, you will increase your exposure to others in your field of study.

How to Start a Club?
Can't find the right club for you? Start your own! A club gives you the opportunity to participate in the activities outside of the classroom that make you who you are, and help make your Western experience that much more unique and worthwhile!
You will need to fill out the Club Chartering Request in its entirety to be considered for charter. If you have any questions about the form email studentlife@westernwyoming.edu or visit the Dean of Student's Office (2006).
- To be a Club you need a Faculty/Staff to be your advisor. This is an important part of your Club. They will help you with meetings, events, and so much more. Try to find an advisor that’s just as passionate about your club as you are!
- Members! You need at least 4 other students participating in your Club. These 4 members can be your President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.
- You need a purpose for your club. Why are you creating this club? What will the members do/accomplish?
- Think about some activities and events your club will hold!
- Will you need money to run your Club? Find out more information on how to receive SGA funds by reviewing Article IX - Student Clubs located in the SGA By-Laws.
The club must be chartered through our Student Government Association.
- Once you have what you need you can attend a SGA meeting from 12:20 PM – 1 PM on Wednesdays in the 3rd Floor Board Room (room 3060)
- At the meeting SGA will vote on the approval of the club charter.
Previously Chartered Club?
Clubs that have been previously chartered will need to declare their active club status each academic year rather than completing a new charter. This must be completed before receiving SGA funding, or before reserving space for club meetings and activities.
The “Declaration of Active Club Status” form is for the club to state who the current advisor and four student officers are. This form will be submitted, reviewed, and approved by the SGA advisors and the SGA Vice-President. The advisor and club members will then be notified of official current active club status.
