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.

All clubs must submit registrations forms each year to be active.

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:
