Organization Recognition

Are you interested in starting a new student organization? Please check out the Student Org Guidebook Wiki!

Each student organization leaves a special mark on the cultural, social and intellectual life of Smith College. In officially recognizing organizations, we in turn recognize the contributions that organizations make to the quality of life at Smith, aiding us in our commitment to providing a safe and inclusive learning environment that promotes personal growth, leadership development, co-curricular involvement, intellectual inquiry, global stewardship, social responsibility and the valuing of difference in all forms.

Recognition Form

All organizations are required to submit a Recognition Form each year.

Deadline

Recognition Forms were due Friday, April 27, 2012 to activate organizations for the Fall 2012 semester.

Organizations that missed the fall deadline who wish to be active in the Spring, should submit their forms by Friday, February 8, 2013.

Please contact Tamra Bates with questions or concerns.
