STUDENT CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS

Through active involvement in University activities, students benefit themselves as well as McMurry. There are many different organizations at McMurry, each with different objectives. Take a moment to look at the different choices available. Students, who are interested in any of these organizations, should not hesitate to stop by the Student Engagement Office in the Campus Center or MSG Office in The Nest to obtain more information. Also, look for information booths of the different organizations throughout the semester. Students can join most studentorganizations at any time during the year; simply attend a meeting or call the Campus Center. Students who have a special interest that isn’t already a focus of a student organization have the opportunity to create a new student organization. One of the most important factors in modern liberal arts education is the education students receive from each other. Whatever a student’s interests, whether academic or extra-curricular, there are student organizations eager to welcome you to membership. These groups offer opportunities for service, professional growth, and social life.

McMurry encourages students to associate with recognized organizations. Becoming and remaining a recognized Student Organization at McMurry has many privileges. Besides the student camaraderie, the organizations may: 1. schedule and use University facilities, equipment, and services for purposes related to organizational goals; 2. conduct fundraising events among students with proper approval from University staff; 3. establish dues to acquire funds that will be used for purposes beneficial to the organization and its members; 4. participate as a group in University events; 5. invite speakers and sponsor activities; 6. recruit new members from the student body within the established guidelines; 7. receive information and resources necessary to function appropriately and effectively as an organization; and
