Umbrella Organization Application 2009-2010


Committee Name. The use of "NYU" or "New York University" as part of a committee name is restricted to "at NYU" or "at New York University". For example your committee is not authorized to use the name "NYU Theatre Committee" but it is authorized to use the name "Theatre Committee at NYU". New committees may not identify themselves as an "Office", "Council", "Board", "Center", "Department" or other names commonly used to identify official governing bodies, administrative or academic areas of the University. In cases where a committee is a campus chapter of a national organization that includes these terms, the Student Activities Board will take consider an exception to their policy.

Mission Statement. The mission statement defines what your committee is, what the committee aspires to be, allows for growth and change, distinguishes your committee from others, and serves as a frame work to evaluate your success as a committee. An important intention of your committee's mission statement is to keep current and future members of the committee and the NYU community aware of the committees' core purpose and values. To that end, your mission statement should include the purpose and values of the committee, identify who the committee's primary stakeholders are, outline the responsibilities of the committee to its members and the NYU community, and set out the main objectives the committee will accomplish. Your mission statement should be brief and clearly stated so that it is generally understood by all. You can find the mission statements of existing committees registered with the Office of Student Activities by going to the club directory.

Committee Uniqueness Statement. Your committee's uniqueness statement provides the Student Activities Board additional details about your committee beyond what you have stated in your mission statement. This is an opportunity to clarify how your proposed committee is different from other existing committees at NYU and how your committee will have a positive impact on the NYU community.

Statement of Committee Activities and Goals. This is your opportunity to outline the kinds of activities your committee might engage in and what you hope to accomplish by hosting these activities.

Committee Founding Members. The SAB requires that during the application process proposed committees select four (4) NYU students from a cross-section of student organizations (registered with OSA) who will serve as the founding members of the committee until elections are held following the ratification of your committee's Constitution. The founding members are required to be current NYU students in good standing with the University who are enrolled in academic courses working toward an academic degree. The Founding Members may all be from one school at NYU. It is important to provide all of the information requested for each of the founding members.
