Have an Idea
Almost any subject or pastime that brings people together can be the seed of a great student group: hobbies, academic subjects, communities, issues, or politics. Recreational clubs are welcome too!
See an Advisor
Book a meeting (login required) with Student Activities to speak with an activities advisor. You'll have a chance to talk about your ideas and goals. Our advisors will help you succeed in realizing your club's mission.
Evergreen Shellfish Club provides a hands-on and educational experience through shellfish aquaculture for the Evergreen community.
Find More People
The purpose of student organizations is to build your community. Are other students excited by your idea? If you don't have folks interested yet, now is the time to announce this proposed club and find participants. Try connecting with like-minded students in your programs, around your housing, or via social media platforms. An advisor can also help you set up and promote an interest meeting campus.
Sign Up and Go to Training
Once you’ve recruited the club leadership, you're ready to get trained and registered. Clubs can have up to 3 official leaders; we call them coordinators.
All club leadership will need to go to the Registration Workshop (see calendar below). This workshop is one-hour and introduces you to the general policies & resources available to student groups. You will learn how to build your group base, how to plan an event on campus, and how to apply for funds. You will also complete a CANVAS course to learn more about campus policies and procedures.
