<p>Hi, I’m planning to start a new student organization/club next fall.
Is anyone familiar with this process?
I’ve been trying figure this out, but Northwestern website doesn’t seem to
have a lot of info regarding starting a new organization.
Thanks</p>
<p>Clubs/organizations at Northwestern are under the umbrella of the Associated Student Government – ASG.</p>
<p>From the ASG website:</p>
<p>Q: How can I start a student group (aka, gain group recognition) through ASG?</p>
<p>The recognition process has three parts: finding an advisor, completing the written materials, and an interview before the committee members. To learn more about the roles and responsibilities of a student group advisor, check out <a href=“Norris University Center - Northwestern University”>Norris University Center - Northwestern University. Written materials consist of a recognition application and a constitution (a template for which will be provided by the Student Group Director). Application materials must be submitted one week before the Friday before the Tuesday you intend to be interviewed (in other words, applications must be submitted 11 days in advance of your intended interview date). If the new student group is approved for recognition by a 2/3 vote of the committee, then it is assigned Temporary (T) status for one year.</p>
<p>Upon the completion of one year, T-status will expire. The student group will be assessed by the committee again to either maintain Tstatus for another year, promote to B-status (permanent status), or revoke recognition.</p>
