 Getting Started

Joining a club is easy!

1. Look through the list of clubs that we have on campus 

  • Scroll down to the heading: Wenatchee Campus Clubs. By clicking on the club name, you are able to open their club flier to learn a bit more and find out when they meet
  • Some clubs have a notation behind their club name, "(Currently on hiatus)." You can inquire about these clubs, but at this time they are not active. Additionally, the club fliers attached to their names are from a previous year. However, we want to be able to show you the variety of clubs that have established recognition on the Wenatchee campus, and what their focus is. 

2. Show up to a club meeting, or reach out to the club advisor to let them know you are interested

3. Participate in the club activities!

If you have an idea for a club that we don't already have, you can start one!

  1. Find an advisor (a staff or faculty member employed in a professional position with WVC)
  2. Find at least 3 other currently enrolled students that want to be in your club
  3. Read over the Club Handbook to familiarize yourself with the responsibilities, guidelines, and policies of the college concerning club business
  4. Fill out the Club Certification and create a Club Constitution (guidelines for how your club will operate)

Then comes the approval process...

  1. Your request is reviewed by Student Life staff
  2. Your request is reviewed by the ASWVC Senate. You will be notified of the date of this review, and you are welcome to come present to the senate about your request.
  3. You will be notified when your club is approved
  4. Complete the Club Training. All officers and the club advisor, must do a mandatory Club Training before any activities can be planned or funding can be accessed

 Let others know that you are here!

  1. Create your club flier to get the word out about who you are and when you meet
  2. Mark your calendar for Interclub Council meetings. These are monthly mandatory meetings. For more information, read below under Interclub Council or see the Club Handbook
  3. Start having fun!
  • Utilize college facilities
  • Reserve activity dates on the official college calendar
  • Organize activities and events both on and off campus
  • Be included in student publications
In order to become an officially recognized club, and eligible to receive funding and host events, complete the steps in the section titled: "Start a Club."
Each year, clubs that wish to remain officially recognized as a student organization will need to fill out the Club Recertification form. This forms allows clubs to update officer information, and notify the Student Life office of their continued activity.

If a club makes any changes, either to the club name and/or club operations, then the Club Constitution will need to be resubmitted and approved. (If there are no changes, then the existing constitution remains valid.)

Wenatchee Campus
Interclub Council is composed of the ASWVC Vice President, who serves as the chair, the ASWVC Treasurer who serves as the co-chair, at least one representative from each club on the Wenatchee campus, and the Student Leadership and Engagement Coordinator, who serves as advisor for all clubs. The council meets monthly to discuss ideas, plans, partnerships, activities, and funding.

Excused Absence
In rare situations, all members of a given club may be in classes or be required to partake in other obligations that prevent participation at Interclub Council meetings. If such circumstances arise an Excused Absence Petition may be granted.

The Excused Absence Petition must be submitted to Student Life on or before the time and day that Interclub Council meets.

Approval for the petition must be received from the Student Leadership & Engagement Coordinator and/or the Associate Dean of Campus Life, Equity, & Inclusion.

 

Clubs are encouraged to check out the Club Resources page for tips and guidance on various topics related to operating as a club.
