Last week I wrote a piece on making the most of your time at Sinclair. This involved finding groups and clubs to join to become more integrated with the campus and the city of Dayton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While there are many great clubs around (African American Male Initiative, Brite Signal Alliance, Phi Theta Kappa, Art Club, Student Senate and The Clarion) perhaps you want to make your own group dedicated to something you enjoy with other students, such as sports, music or video games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this article, let\u2019s say you want to make a club dedicated to professional wrestling. Here is the list of steps on how to get your group off the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1:<\/strong> First off you have to be a Sinclair student, and you have to look at the list of current student organizations and make sure no other group serves the same purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are no groups at Sinclair currently dedicated to the Macho Man Randy Savage, so continue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tStep 2:<\/strong> Prepare a mission statement for the group. It should be roughly two to three sentences long and serve as the pitch you\u2019ll give to potential advisors and club members you\u2019ll be trying to gather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tThis should include some of the benefits that the group\u2019s existence will bring to the Sinclair community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tStep 3:<\/strong> Find an advisor. Advisors are a Sinclair employee who volunteers their time to help mentor the club and many times handle some of the more tedious parts of the job, such as paperwork. It\u2019d probably be best in this example to find a professor that really enjoys wrestling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tStep 4:<\/strong> Ask your advisor to complete a charter application. These are located online from the advisor\u2019s Sinclair email account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tStep 5:<\/strong> Remind the advisor to check their email from the Student Engagement office with an outline of the next steps in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tStep 6:<\/strong> Recruit members to join the organization. The minimum number needed to start the club is 10, and I\u2019m sure through some marketing techniques you can find at least 10 wrestlemaniacs to enjoy the art of fake sports with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tWhen you have your members of the Cenation, every member of the group, as well as the advisors will have to read and acknowledge the Student Code of Conduct\/Honor Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tStep 7:<\/strong> Finally, you\u2019ll need to draft up a constitution for the group, explaining the club\u2019s purpose, organizational structure, mission statement, rules and guidelines for those entering the group and any amendments that will need to be added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tOnce it\u2019s finished and sent to the Student and Community Engagement office, it\u2019ll be reviewed and approved if everything is in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tThere seems to be a sense that Sinclair is a get-in, get-out college where you don\u2019t spend a whole lot of time stopping to smell the roses or making long-lasting connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But hidden away here are several clubs filled with great people, and the potential to make your own organization where you can bodyslam your contemporaries to your heart\u2019s content. If anyone wants to start that wrestling club, I\u2019m in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Henry Wolski Last week I wrote a piece on making the most of your time at Sinclair.
