Hello Wellesley!
This is CORA taking over the CG column this week, and we’re thrilled to announce that our New Student Org Application for 2024-2025 is now officially RELEASED and AVAILABLE for submissions! (link: https://cglink.me/2w3/s98) This means that ANY current Wellesley students who notice a unique, unmet need on campus and want to create a new student organization can apply.
Please refer to the application process guidebook (link: https://shorturl.at/78iQT) for a step-by-step guide, which includes links to sample constitutions and other valuable resources. For questions on funding or events, consult the SOFC website (link: https://sites.google.com/wellesley.edu/sofc/home) and the Student Org Handbook (link: https://shorturl.at/2tZ9T).
Additionally, if your student organization missed the Spring Recognition Deadline last year or if you wish to revive an inactive organization that was previously approved, you should fill out the same application to reinstate the organization’s status. CORA will begin meeting weekly on Wednesdays from 6-7 p.m., starting Oct. 2. The earlier you apply, the faster the approval process!
To support the application processes, the Orgs Chair will host office hours every Sunday from 10-11:30 a.m., available by 15-minute appointment slots. You can schedule a meeting via Calendly (link: https://calendly.com/orgschair-wellesley/officehours) or find more details on the CORA website (link: https://wellesleycora.my.canva.site/home). Emails will also be checked regularly to ensure everyone has support throughout this process.
