Starting an University Club

I would like to start an university club that helps students develop themselves, participate with each other and enjoy their time in order to tackle life difficulties and improve the community. I know starting a club requires a big effort especially in the beginning, but with dedication, cooperation and passion, it could become beneficial and popular.

I would like the club does not had a very specific theme, rather a different spectrum of activities from flying kites, having professionals taking about global warming. Basically, a club that touches all moods of our lives and open for all the students.

I am sure that I can find other students that have similar ideas, we can brainstorm together to polish the idea and check the existing clubs in order to make our club unique. And then prescribe the nature of the club and its principles. Then, we can elect the executive board to allow the delegation of tasks, that way each person is responsible of one specific task or tasks. For example, someone is delegated for administrative tasks, another one for marketing tasks, and so on. and ask the university responsible department for recognition. Once the club is official, finding other members is the next step; using social media, printing flyers or organizing an introduction event are some of the means to let other students know the club and join it.

Having a regular scheduled meetings is the key point for sustainability. Through these meeting, every member of the club should have the opportunity to give new ideas or any feedback they want in free and respectful manner. With communication, the club will grow strong and achieve many goals.

For funding issue, I intend not to depend heavily on the university, instead finding other sources such as organizing fund-raising events like handcraft, bake sales, or selling tickets for some of our movie nights.

All in all, I have to be flexible and work with any new outcomes in order to achieve the objective: Having beneficial community where we can work together and enjoy the pleasure of being members of an one team.
