Student Organizations
Students at Bloomsburg University participate in well over 200 student organizations. Of these the fast majority are recognized by the Community Government Association, which assists in funding many activities. Additionally, a variety of intramural athletics are organized annually, and there are a number of student advisory boards for  various functions of the university. At the beginning of each academic year, Student Activities hosts an activities fair at Kehr Union to allow students, especially incoming freshmen, to meet with representatives of organizations and consider participation.

In this section you will find the following:

  • How to form a student organization
  • A detailed list of all clubs and organizations at Bloomsburg University

NOTE: This section is currently being revised. We apologize for any inconvenience.

 

How to form a student organization:

To begin, there are two types of student organizations: co-curricular and extra-curricular. Co-curricular organizations are those affiliated with academic departments such as the Forensics Society, Bloomsburg Players, and the Political Science Student Association. These organizations generally sponsor activities closely related to their academic major. Faculty advisors are normally selected by and from within the academic department. Extra-curricular organizations are essentially interest groups and are social in nature. Some of these organizations are the Black Cultural Society, Global Awareness Society and Chess Club. Advisors can be anyone and are selected by members of the organization.

The Steps Involved:

Step 1. Discuss initial plans with the director of Kehr Union, Kehr Union Room 350. (except social fraternities or sororities who must contact the Greek Coordinator)

Step 2. Complete and submit a Petition for Recognition of Student Organization Status to the Director of Kehr Union.

Step 3. The petition will be reviewed by the Committee on Student Organizations.  Representatives from the proposed student organization may attend or may be requested to attend the meeting of this committee during which the petition is reviewed.  The organization will be notified, in writing, of the action taken by the committee.

Step 4. If the petition of the proposed student organization is approved, the members of the organization may begin drafting its constitution.  The organization should follow the model constitution (available in the Director’s office, Kehr Union, Room 350) and Robert's Rules of Order, Revised Edition as closely as possible.

Step 5. After the constitution is written in its final form, the organization must submit seven copies to the Director of Kehr Union from where they will be distributed to the members of the Committee on Student Organizations.  The Chairperson of the Committee on Student Organizations may invite the president and/or the faculty advisor of the proposed organization to attend the meeting at which the constitution is reviewed for approval.           

Step 6.  If the constitution is approved by the senate, the organization will be notified, in writing, of that action.  The organization will also be notified of all rights and privileges granted to recognized student organizations.

Step 7. An organization may appeal any action taken by the Committee on Student Organizations to the Student Senate.

Step 8. If, for some reason, an approved student organization becomes inactive or disbands, it must notify the Director of Kehr Union, Kehr Union Room 350.

Step 9. An inactive organization desiring to reactivate must petition the Committee on Student Organizations for active status.
