Club Updates
If you have changes with your club's description, photo, leadership, or membership roster, remember to make updates to your club page on Campus Groups. If you have questions about making updates in Campus Groups, please email Student Engagement.
If your club makes changes to your club name or constitution, you will need to contact the Senate and attend a senate meeting. Email the club support committee chair and let them know what you would like to change. They will provide further directions and have your present your case at a senate meeting. If your changes are approved, make sure to update your club information in Campus Groups.
Club Membership and Leadership Changes
As your club membership changes and grows or your leadership changes, a club officer should log into Campus Groups to update the club roster. Any new Presidents and Treasurers must also complete appropriate training before gaining access.
Club Leader Google Group
It is imperative that officers of your club be subscribed to the Club Leaders Google Group to receive important emails regarding Allocation Board submission information, Treasury deadlines information, and other information imperative to being a club leaders at Brandeis. This is also where registration for the Fall and Winter Involvement Fairs will be announced.
To join the Club Leader Google Group, you must be listed as an officer in Campus Groups. Additionally, you can email bsummit@brandeis.edu to be added to the group.
