Student Organizations

Dwight Hall currently consists of 71 student-run organizations that are closely aligned with our mission: "to foster civic-minded student leaders and to promote service and activism in New Haven and around the world."

If you are thinking of starting a new organization, you might discover that an existing group may be interested in adopting your idea. You may pick up a Spring 2007 Guide in Dwight Hall, or you may download a .pdf version here: Spring 2007 Guide

Please note that group profiles will soon be available on this website, so check back often.

If you do wish to apply for membership to Dwight Hall, we urge you to reflect on the following questions:

1) Is there a need in the community for this group?

Many communities have identified opportunities for improvement and often respond favorably to programs that address such needs.

2) Is someone else already filling the need?

If so, determine whether or not it makes sense to combine your efforts.

3) Who will be responsible for your group once you are gone?

Stewardship is a critical responsibility for any program and includes thoughtful and appropriate transitions of group ownership.
