UWMC Clubs and Organizations

Campus clubs offer opportunities for students to share similar interests while enhancing skills,
which can bolster resumes, references, and scholarship applications.

To create a campus club, here is what you need:
* a constitution stating the club's purpose and meeting schedule
* an election of four student officers
*a faculty or staff advisor

Officially chartered clubs can request up to $500 from the Student Government Association
 and utilize campus resources such as meeting rooms and bulletin boards. 

Valuable information & forms are available here:
