Student Organization Guide
2006-2007

New Club Development Program

The Center for Student Program’s New Club Development Program has been created to ensure that all student organizations receive the skills and foundation that is fundamental for an organization to thrive.

The New Club Development Program will span an entire academic year. Each potential organization will have the opportunity to enter the program at the beginning of either the Fall or Spring semester. There will be an orientation session at the beginning of each semester for all organizations entering the program where the requirements that the organization would have to engage in to be considered for access to benefits will be discussed. These requirements are meant to serve as a measure of the sustainability of the organization after its founding members have graduated, determine the relevance of the organization to the Georgetown student body, and assure the level of commitment to the Georgetown and/or greater community. At the completion of this year-long period, a proposal will be submitted that details the completion of the requirements to the current SAC Board and representatives from the Center for Student Programs.

In the unlikely event that the organization does not live up to the requirements set forth by the end of the year, SAC can determine whether the organization may have an additional semester to fulfill all of the necessary requirements, and prepare another proposal. After this additional amount of time, if an organization still does not meet the standards set forth, the organization will not be considered or admitted into the system for another full year.
