How Do I Join a Student Organization?
- Attend an organization's callout to gather information about the group.
You can find out about various callouts by checking The Purdue Exponent
(the campus newspaper) or the Mortar Board calendar (for sale
at local bookstores).
- Go to the Activities Carnival, an event
held in the fall featuring representatives
from many student organizations.
- Call or stop by an organization's office during office hours (usually
between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m.). Phone and room numbers are listed in the
Mortar Board calendar.
- Visit the Student Activities
and Organizations page of the Office of the Dean of Students Web
site, located in Room 250 of Schleman Hall, or call 49-41231. Staff
members will be happy to help you get involved.
How Do I Form My Own Student Organization?
- You will need a constitution (outlines are available in Schleman Hall,
Room 250).
- A list of officers, including a faculty adviser.
- Once you've met these requirements, visit the Student Activities and
Organizations Area of the Office of the Dean of Students (in Room 250
of Schleman Hall) for recognition as a new student organization. A financial
account with the Business Office for Student Organizations then can
be established.
How Does My Student Organization Plan an Event?
At least two weeks' notice is necessary
for planning an event. Once your group has
determined the desired date, time, and location
of its activity, you should take the following
steps:
- Reserve the desired location. If your
event is to take place in the Purdue Memorial
Union or Stewart Center, reservations
must be made in Room 8 of the Purdue Memorial
Union. Most other campus locations can
be reserved through Space Management and
Academic Scheduling, located in Room 402,
Engineering Administration Building, or
by calling 49-43900.
- Fill out an Event Planning Form (EPF).
Pick up and return this form to Room 250,
Schleman Hall. On the EPF you will list
information about your event, estimated
income and expenses, personnel in charge
of the activity, and charity information.
- If your event requires travel, fill
out a Travel Planning Form (TPF) instead
of an EPF. The TPF requires similar information,
plus the signatures of the group's president,
treasurer, and advisor. You will also
need a list of people traveling and an
emergency contact phone number.
How Do I Publicize an Event?
- You can advertise on campus by posting
fliers. (Be sure to comply with Purdue's
posting policy. A copy of this policy
is available in Room 250, Schleman Hall.)
- Display a message on the electronic message board near Stewart Center.
Pick up a form in Room 250, Schleman Hall.
- Reserve a display case in Stewart Center.
You can do this in Room 8, Purdue Memorial
Union.
- Place an announcement in residence hall
table notices. Each residence hall has
the form you will need to fill out.
