Mandatory Club Leader Training

We'll be holding a mandatory training session to review updates, policies, and resources for the year ahead. At least the President and VP of Finance from each club must attend to receive funding and the ability to register for the annual Graduate Club Fair. More officers and club advisors are welcome to attend but are not required. Please take a moment to complete this Doodle Poll to indicate your availability.

Confirm Access to Club Leadership Group

All registered graduate club leaders should have access to the Club Leadership group as of today on Questrom Common. This is where you’ll find important documents, the Club Leadership Handbook, training resources, and other tools that will help you lead your club effectively. This is also how you will recieve email communication like this one from the Community Engagement staff and QGC. Please take a few minutes to log in and confirm your access. Specifically, be sure to confirm your access to this page. If you don’t see the group listed or have any issues, let me know so we can get it resolved before the semester begins.

Start Exploring the Club Leadership Handbook

The Club Leadership Handbook is your go-to resource for everything you need to know about running a club at Questrom. It includes guidance on budgeting, event planning, approvals, marketing, policies, and more. I highly recommend reviewing it over the summer to get ahead on the year. You can find the link to the handbook on the Club Leadership page of Questrom Common or by clicking here.

Connect With Your Faculty/Staff Advisor

Each club is required to have at least one faculty or staff advisor to support your work throughout the year. While advisor involvement can vary, your advisor must agree to serve in this role. We are in the process of contacting the advisor listed on your re-registration to confirm their participation. Over the summer, we encourage you to connect with your advisor, especially if you’re planning events, treks, or initiatives that could benefit from their support or guidance.

Plan Ahead for Fall Semester Events

All club events, on or off campus, require a minimum of 4 week lead time for approval, especially those involving outside speakers, catering, or ticketing. Start thinking now about what events you'd like to host this fall. Early planning gives you the best chance of securing your preferred dates, spaces, and support. More info will be shared about this at the Club Leader Training. 

Later this summer, you can expect to learn more about QGC provided funding for your club, additional budget requests, registration for the annual grad club fair, and more. Be sure to monitor your email throughout the summer. 

And, join us on Wednesday, July 16 for our annual MBA Summer Networking Night. This event is open to all FTMBA, PTMBA, and MBA Alumni! We will also be welcoming out admitted MBA students which makes it a perfect opportunity to begin recruitment for your clubs.
