How to start your own club
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article outlines the reported steps for starting a student group.
- The paper reported that organizers should finalize their idea and check registered groups for similar organizations.
- The article adds that organizers should read the Office of Student Involvement guidelines and register online before Sept. 15 or on the first and 15th of each month.
- The reporter writes that service groups fall under CSC, while cultural, political, publication, religious, sports and other listed groups fall under SAC.
- According to the article, service groups must submit a New Group Registration Proposal; groups seeking University funding must register with SAC and contact the relevant liaison.
- The article says organizers must submit an abstract to SAC, which can pass it to the Student Council Authorization Committee; after approval, the group has a year to write its constitution but cannot receive funding during that year.
