There are numerous clubs and organizations at JJC. They offer almost unlimited opportunities for students to become acquainted with other students, develop leadership skills and interact with others who share similar interests.
Chartering of new clubs occurs at Collegiate Club Council meetings in October, December, and February. A limited number of clubs will be chartered due to budget restrictions.
Students attempting to start new clubs have two opportunities to reserve space and promote activities prior to initial chartering. This gives new students a chance to determine interest. Contact Pam Dilday to make space arrangements.
Steps to Start a New Club or Reactivate a Former Club
- Obtain petition forms from the Office of Student Activities, H-1016 (north end of the bridge).
- Have a minimum of 10 students and a faculty sponsor to oversee the activities.
- Draft a statement of purpose, budget and membership roster for the proposed club as well as a constitution.
- Clubs are charted in October, December and February only!
- A limited number of club slots are open due to budget restrictions.
Forms
All items above must be submitted to Amy Sims, Coordinator od Student Activities and Holistic Wellness along with a formal recognition by the Collegiate Club Council. For more information contact OSA, room H-1016 or call (815) 280-2202.
