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.
