All of the other members of the executive board are elected in April for the following school year. Nomination forms for senator and executive positions are available from the SGA office (room 186) or the SGA Advisor's office (in Student Services) four weeks prior to an election.

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, all that is needed is a constitution stating the club's purpose and meeting schedule, an election of four student officers, and 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. Past and present clubs include:

Animation Appreciation Society, Anthropology, Armchair Philosophy, Art, Botany, Business, Campus Crusade for Christ, Community Building Club, Computer, Dance, Diversity, Drama, Engineering, Environmental, Feminists, Gamers, Harry Potter, Hockey, LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Question/Queer), Movie, PEER (Peer Empowerment Education Resource), Political Action, Programming, Robotics, Support our Troops, Vegetarian, and Writers Workshop.

Club forms, advisor contacts, and additional information are available on the Club Resources webpage, from the Student Government Association, or Student Activities Coordinator in Student Services.
