Club Council

Appalachian State University boasts over 300+ clubs and organizations created by, and for students. Facilitating that process is Club Council. Club Council is the advisory board for these clubs and organizations, composed of 8 undergraduate members and two graduate assistants serving as advisors. The priority of the council is to support clubs and organizations as they reach their full potential. 

The council is responsible for making recommendations on policies and programs for student organizations. It is responsible for reviewing funding requests and for petitions by students interested in forming new student organizations. The council also assists with club development workshops and opportunities to create stronger clubs and organizations on the campus of Appalachian State University.
