Need help becoming a Carlson School affiliated org?
Groups must first be registered with Student Unions & Activities.
Then present a proposal to Business Board (bboard@umn.edu), the Carlson undergraduate student government. New student groups will be asked to to include the mission of your student group, projected makeup of student membership, and description of how this group will contribute to the undergraduate student body at the Carlson School.
Based on the proposal, Business Board will then make a recommendation to the Carlson School Undergraduate Program. If you are approved, your organization will be added to the online list of affiliated orgs.
