experience at IIT. Valuable lessons in leadership, planning and organization are some <strong>of</strong> the benefits <strong>of</strong><br />

A. Organizational Recognition<br />
<strong>Student</strong> organizations must apply for and maintain university recognition with the Office <strong>of</strong> Campus Life.<br />
Staff members will work with individuals wishing to form a new student organization. Organizations in the<br />
formation stage will be assigned a liaison in the Office <strong>of</strong> Campus Life and are required to meet with their<br />
liaison prior to arranging a meeting with SGA (http://sga.iit.edu). After the potential new organization is preapproved<br />
during an SGA Senate meeting, the new organization will create a constitution with the help <strong>of</strong><br />
Campus Life. Once the constitution has been reviewed and Campus Life criteria have been met, the<br />
organization will complete the formal recognition form. The Office <strong>of</strong> Campus Life reserves the right to<br />
withhold recognition from those prospective organizations whose purpose may be in conflict with the<br />
institutional mission or operation <strong>of</strong> the university.<br />
Recognized organizations can maintain their recognition by registering the organization with the Office <strong>of</strong>
