Student Clubs & Communities

SUCCI encourages and supports students to form and participate in clubs & communities on campus. Clubs enhance student life by providing: recreation, athletic, fitness, performance, cultural, social and educational opportunities. Funding is available through SUCCI to support clubs. Sanctioned clubs & communities will have space booked for them on campus by SUCCI and may, if needed be provided access to marketing, advertising and event software to support their club. Clubs will have the ability to create events and activities, where communities are simply a place for like-minded students to gather. 

 

The package outlines the steps to follow in order to create a club or community and we are here to help. Wherever possible, SUCCI will attempt to match clubs with a suitable employee or alumni mentor who shares a common interest with the purpose of the club. Final approval for all clubs & communities will be made by the SUCCI Board of Directors.

 

Do you have any Hobbies or Interests? Want to Start a Club?

Get involved and take charge! Organize a Club or Community Today! Starting a club on campus has many benefits such as:
• Meeting new people  • Sharing special interests  • Club funding
• Improve student life  • Increase personal skills

  • Clubs are groups who share a common interest but also intend to host events and activities for the wider college community.  Clubs are eligible for funding.  Club events will be posted on SUCCI's monthly event calendar and may qualify to sponsorship or ticket subsidies.
  • Communities are groups who share a common interest, but are simply looking to gather and socialize but not host wider activities.  Communities can recommend ideas to SUCCI's Programming Committee.
