Description of the Program

“Silver” and “Gold” recognition for student organizations is a way for The Office of Student Engagement to acknowledge and reward the outstanding achievements of exemplary student organizations. Organizations recognized as “Silver” or “Gold” have gone above and beyond the normal requirements of a student organization and demonstrated a commitment to their organization and contributing to student life at ����ֱ��.

All current student organizations, in good standing, are considered to be “Blue” organizations. Applications for “Silver” and “Gold” organizations are emailed to student organization presidents at the end of October and March during the fall and spring semesters respectfully. Once an organization earns “Silver” or “Gold” status, they maintain that status for one calendar year. Budgets for “Gold” organizations will be awarded following an application process at the conclusion of the spring semester for the following academic year only. No budgets will be awarded during the fall semester. Organizations will be notified in a timely manner of any status earned or budget awarded following the submission of the appropriate application. Organizations may re-apply or apply for a higher status each semester. Final discretion regarding recognition status and budgets belongs to The Office of Student Engagement.
