Changes

For a lesson in “How to setup and teach a new class or academic offering”, we will be walking you through the development of a new on-campus organization.  We will discuss some pointers and checklist items that should be considered for each step and then it will be applied to the club of interest.

'' This club is entirely student-driven.  The only faculty support has been in the form of the original mechanical engineering professor during whose freshmen mechanical engineering class the general interest for the club was assessed.  This faculty support under the general clearance of the department and college has allowed the club to proceed with meetings until it is officially awarded status as a student organization.''

*Everything costs money.

''Gregory was named a UIF in May 2013 when he generated a Landscape Analysis of his University of Georgia campus.  In the spring, he obtained initial interest from four main people, but once the summer began, the interest diminished until the fall of 2013.  Gregory attended a class the second week of classes to introduce the idea for the club and noticed a large majority were interested.  The first meetings were then held in early September.  The timeline for this individual club from idea to implementation was May to September, four months.''

*Getting off the ground is the hardest part.  But if you collaborate with other groups, if you go to other group meetings, you see the inner-workings of an organization.  All organizations are run slightly differently- take everything in and see what you like and dislike.
