Organizations
An organization is a group that is closely tied to a department on campus, and has the oversight of that department rather than oversight by The Center for Student Leadership & Engagement. It is often in the job description of a department member to advise the group. Frequently, some funding from the department goes towards the group, although it is not always the case. Organizations cannot be funded by the Co-Funding Board. An organization does not have to go through the club recognition process, nor are they required to have a constitution.
Organizations are asked to submit an annual registration form with a list of members, an advisor contract and a constitution (if one exists) to Student Leadership & Engagement each academic year for the purposes of record keeping.
All students and student groups must abide by the policies in the Bennie Book and the J Book.

Q+ represents an organization for students to converse with their peers who have a deepening concern for LGBTQ+ issues. The organization will ensure students do not feel alone or uncomfortable on campus by providing space in meetings, events, and other areas for students to voice their concerns. Hence, we acknowledge and guarantee that Q+ will promote the full inclusion of LGBTQ+ folks and allies, while intersectionally working to dismantle prejudice, discrimination, and oppression toward and within the LGBTQ+ community on campus.
