The purpose of student organizations at Sewanee is to provide opportunities to engage, to learn, and to lead, allowing students to pursue their passions and interests with other students while developing leadership and organizational skills.
Students have the opportunity to submit applications at any time throughout the academic year. Provided these organizations meet and maintain the University’s requirements for recognition, the University is willing to provide them with certain benefits and privileges.
At the beginning of each fiscal year, officers should plan the potential activities of the year and create a budget for each of these activities. This budget will provide a general basis to determine how all funds of the organization will be used in the coming year.
Student organizations are required to set dates for events on campus. Student leaders are encouraged to use the Engage calendar to identify acceptable dates. The Office of Student Involvement is always ready and available to help schedule events to ensure that the event does not interfere with key University events.
