The Office of Student Activities administers a wide variety of programs and events that provide opportunities for socialization, leadership and personal growth within and beyond the campus community. The goal of the Department is to expand the learning that students receive in the classroom and make the college experience well-rounded.
Joining a student organization is a great way to find your niche on campus, make new friends with similar interests, develop your leadership potential or simply try something new. Many clubs and organizations are connected to an academic department on campus and many are based on personal hobbies. The list below is ever evolving, so make sure to visit our website for an up-to-date list with a description of each club, advisor and officer contact information and meeting times for the current semester.
The Student Government Association (SGA) is composed of elected students from the various Mount Aloysius student groups and is the main representative voice of the student body. The three main objectives of SGA are Leadership, Service and Communication. The Association is committed to developing positive relationships between the students and the administration of Mount Aloysius College. See the SGA page for more info.
The Campus Activities Board is open to the entire Mount Aloysius Community interested in helping to coordinate events for the campus and instill a sense of tradition at Mount Aloysius. There are multiple committees that students may choose to participate in or even chair.
New student groups are always welcome at Mount Aloysius College. To form a club or organization and obtain College recognition, the following procedures must be completed:
Any student in good standing with Mount Aloysius College may request permission from the Director of Student Activities to hold a special meeting(s) at the College for the purpose of informing interested students about a proposed organization.
A student organization desiring to be recognized by Mount Aloysius College must complete a “Registered Student Organization Application,” located on the MyMAC Portal Page under the "Student" tab. A full-time Mount Aloysius student who is in good standing with the College must submit these forms. These forms must be submitted with a constitution that will govern the operations of the organization.
The Student Government Association shall review all applications for recognition and select those organizations that they feel should receive recognition from the College.
The Director of Student Activities and SGA will give approval for the organization to be recognized, pending final approval by the Vice President for Enrollment and Student Life.
Changes in student organization constitutions must be approved by the Director of Student Activities.
Official recognition by the College grants the following privileges to College student organizations, subject to College procedures and regulations:
The use of College facilities rent-free;
The use of campus news media;
Eligibility for awards and honors given to College student organizations;
The use of club funds awarded by SGA; and
The use of the college van.
Recognized clubs and organizations retain their privileges from year-to-year with completion of proper annual paperwork (See Organization Handbook for details) and attendance at SGA Meetings.
