Student Organizations

With the relatively high rate of turnover amongst the student population (there's almost an entirely different group of students every four years!), student needs change fairly quickly. With these changing needs, different student organizations are formed, and existing organizations take on new purposes.

Below, in alphabetical order, BGLTQ-related student organizations describe what they offer to undergraduate students on campus.

If you're interested in starting a new initiative or forming a new student organization, feel free to stop by our Office or email us to talk more. The formal New Student Organization Recognition process, coordinated by the Dean of Students Office, can be found here.
