Start your own student organization

If you don’t see the group you’re looking for among our offerings, you can create your own. When you do, we’ll give you access to an Involved page, a budget and training and advising from our staff. Each year we open applications between April 15–May 15 and review proposals over the summer. If you’re approved, you’ll kick off your group at our annual block party event.
