Clubs Committee
Club Archives We are encouraging clubs to update photos and resources on Orgsync, as well as their past activities. This is in order to assure clubs will have a history that is accessible to everyone. Club Officer Transition Early next semester clubs must hold elections for freshmen students. We want to encourage clubs to train freshmen to take over the club, so we can maintain forward momentum when the sophomores study away next semester.
