Clubs & Organizations


Clubs and organizations have been organized by students with common interests and career goals.  Clubs offer a great atmosphere for students to meet others, have fun, and gain leadership skills! 

CLUB CONGRESS:  The purpose of the student club congress is to maintain open and effective communication between the ASOC Executive Council, Director of Student Programs and Leadership Development, the Student Organizers, and all chartered clubs.  Club attendance is mandatory.  Clubs not in attendance for two consecutive meetings will be considered inactive and may have their charters revoked

Starting a Club
If you don't see a club that interests you from the directory below, you can start your own club.  To charter a club you'll need to complete a Club Charter with six registered O.C. students that want to join, and a staff or faculty member as your advisor.  Once you've filled out this form, submit it to Jordan Ferraro, the ASOC V.P. of Student Affairs in BSC 118.  The ASOC Executive Council will then review your charter and let you know if your club has been approved.
