Board of Student Organizations

How do I get involved in a Student Organization?

You can look up contact information for a particular club or simply browse through the list of registered clubs on campus on the Student Activities website: http://studentactivities.mines.edu/organizations_1/

What if there isn’t an organization that interests me?

While we have over 166 registered clubs and organizations on campus, sometimes no one has thought of what you’re looking for! In that case it is very easy to start your own organization and create exactly what you’d like.

How do I start a new Organization?

Starting a new organization is a simple process of finding an advisor, 10 people who are interested in the club that is being made, and filling out a few forms. If you want funding, there is one additional form that must be filled out with a maximum starting balance of 100 dollars. These forms are all located in student activities.

How do I find an Advisor?

Finding an advisor is just as simple as asking a staff or faculty member to advise your club! If it is a new professional society, your department secretary would be a good first option to approach and see who they would recommend. For social clubs, you could ask your favourite staff or faculty member as long as they have an @mines.edu email address.

What are the benefits to being a registered student organization?

There are numerous benefits of being a recognized organization on campus which include, but are not limited to:
✦Yearly funding by ASCSM
✦Appropriate use of the CSM logo
✦Name on Student Activities website
✦Information in Calendar/What's Happening emails
✦Access to student activites arts/publicity supplies

What is BSO?

BSO stands for the Board of Student Organizations and is the distinguished governing group for all student organizations on campus and is a standing committee on ASCSM.

What are the requirements to be Tier 1, 2, or 3 organizations?

Each tier has different requirements as well as different benefits. To be eligible for a higher tier, more stringent requirements have to be met. All of this information is found under the Tier Structure tab.

How do I get a website for my student organization?

To obtain an organization home page:

First you have to register your club for OrgSync and then you can customize your website from the OrgSync portal.

Make sure that you and the student(s) you select to modify the website have officers or administrative priveledges on OrgSync.
