Meetings

The Coalition of Student Organizations holds regular, weekly meetings during Fall, Winter, and Spring terms. The Coalition does not meet on holidays or during breaks between terms.

Meetings are held in Center 202, Wednesdays from 4:00-6:00 PM in person or on zoom. 

Student organizations are expected to send one representative to Coalition of Student Organizations meetings regularly to remain in good standing with the Council. Regularly is defined as attending 50% of the scheduled meetings. The club representative is:

• Authorized to report on the student organization activities and generally speak on the organization's behalf,
• Authorized to vote on any motions at the Coalition meetings, and
• Is usually an officer of the organization but not necessarily the president.

Active student organizations have the following benefits:

• Have one vote on any decisions by the Coalition, and
• May submit funds and purchase requests to the Coalition.
