Every Registered Student Organization (RSO) is assigned to a Student Organization Council. All Council correspondence will be sent to officers and advisors through Stuey messages. The Councils will meet regularly throughout the year and every RSO should send a representative. The purpose of the Council meetings is to:
- Share important announcements and information
- Get reports from member groups about their activities
- Encourage the development of a programming calendar that coincides with the University Planning Calendar
- Foster co-programming discussions
- Provide funding to RSOs for campus activities
Active members of each Council are eligible to request funding from the Student Senate. To allocate funds, each Council has a Funding Board chaired by a member of the Student Senate Finance Committee. Funding Board meetings are scheduled as necessary for the Council to review requests. Requests are started by completing a Funding Request Form found in each organization’s STUEY page (officers can click on the "$" icon to access).
For more information on meeting dates, minutes, and funding procedures, check the respective council's Web page linked below or contact the Student Life staff member listed as your Council’s advisor at (616) 331-2345.
