How to Start a New Organization (For more details, see our constitution.)

To establish a new student organization, a Wesley student group must submit the following for approval by the Student Council: 

1. 1. Organization Constitution, including a mission and vision statement.
   2. List of officers, including at least a President, Treasurer, and Student Council representative. The representative may also fill another officer role.
   3. Proposed schedule of upcoming events, including an organizational budget.
   4. Petition including at least 20 names, Student ID numbers and signatures of current Wesley students to indicate broad campus support.  

In collaboration with student council, the community life office, communications and resident life Revised Wesley Ad Guideline was created to help streamline event everyone spread the word about important events, meetings, or gatherings. 

Please remember the best way to start, after deciding on an event is to check your proposed dates with the master student calendar to check for possible conflicts and collaboration opportunities.
