MBA Student Orgs:
Admin, Training & Expectations

The MBA Student Organization Handbook is your go-to guide for leading and contributing to student organizations at the McDonough School of Business. Created by the MBA Program Office and reviewed by the Student Organizations Review Committee (SORC), this comprehensive resource outlines policies, procedures, and best practices essential for managing clubs effectively. Inside, you’ll find details on leadership requirements, membership policies, finances, elections, event planning, branding, and the process for starting new organizations. With clear guidelines and helpful appendices—including policies on alcohol, finances, non-discrimination, communication, and building use—this handbook equips you to be a strong, responsible, and impactful leader within our MBA community.

The MBA Program Alcohol Policy outlines expectations for the responsible serving and consumption of alcohol at student organization events. Aligned with Georgetown University’s broader policies, it underscores our shared commitment to student health, safety, and well-being. 

All students and organizations are required to follow the Student Code of Conduct and the Policies on Alcohol and Other Drugs.

Georgetown University’s Protection of Minors Policy ensures the safety of participants under 18 in all University-affiliated programs and activities. MBA student organizations planning events involving minors must notify the MBA Program Office at least one month in advance so the event can be registered through Georgetown’s Minor Protection Page.
