starting a new club or organization
Starting a new club at Longwood University is easy! Only 8 students and a faculty advisor are needed. Students interested in starting a new club should follow the steps below:
Complete the "New Organization Interest Form" on Lancer Link.
While waiting for your interest form to be processed, prepare a constitution for your organization.
The Historian will review the constitution and come back to the organization with any suggested changes, questions, or additions. The Historian and organization will work together to make the edits and the organization's leadership will meet with the Historian and the Director of the University Center and Student Activities.
After the organization and Historian have made changes to the draft, the Historian will bring it to the Director of the University Center and 2 members of the Historian Committee for review. Following this and after all revisions have been made, the constitution and group will be presented to the Senate for recognition.
Once a final copy is prepared, the Historian will bring it to a SGA Senate Meeting (Every other Tuesday at 3:45 in the Wilson Chambers of Upchurch). The Historian will let the organization know when their constitution is being presented for approval so that they can be present to answer any questions. Senate will then vote to approve the new organization and after a two-thirds vote in favor of the organization occurs, the organization will become a Recognized Student Organization and will meet with university officials for final processing.
