The UNT student club constitution was drafted before I got here. Why don't you contact "Ikeshita Taeko" about it. She also started a student club at UTA and knows a great deal about it. I think she also has a copy of the constitution that should could maybe forward to you. Congratulations about being faculty advisor. Yay!--Jennifer
we talked with the director of student life and she gave us a handbook (guidelines) on how to start a club. I can be the advisor since i've been working there for more than 10 years! yeah! however we are needing to write up a constitution. can you give me any suggestions what needs to be put into place of this? thank you,

thank you for replying to my message. I'm going to ask around in our area how many students would be interested in making a student group. I am not a faculty member but a staff, I work as a Periodicals Clerk and have worked there not just in this particular position but have been working at Central Texas Colleg Library for 20 years now.
There are so many young people here and such a diversity here on this campus. My dream is to reply to Sensei and to share this great buddhism with others. What a great opportunity it would be to have a student group again at the campus. thank you again!

btw i'm sure you know Jason Berg? Is here in your area?
How long have you been practicing?
It's really nice to talk with you.
I've worked with 3 university student groups: Stanford, University of Kentucky, and now University of North Texas. If there are student members who would like to do so, they can form an official university club (and name it what they like) as long as they have 2 people (or more) willing to serve as officers of the club. They also need 5 student signatures in all to form the club. Not all signatories need to be SGI members, just supportive friends. Then the club can get going and start having introductory meetings on a monthly basis. If you are faculty, you could serve as the faculty advisor to the group. Otherwise they will need one. Again if there are no SGI members on the faculty, then a supportive non-member can do it. Most universities will even give small budgets to the student clubs to help them provide refreshments, etc. from time to time at their meetings and to help them pay for the costs of printing flyers, etc. Little by little it will grow. Student services (or a similarly named office) would be the place to register the club. These clubs are wonderful. I have been chanting morning gongyo every day all year with the students here at UNT. Something similar happened at Stanford. UK was moving a bit differently-not as much youth involvement but it was starting to happen when I left. Go for it!
i noticed that you are a faculty advisor for compus buddhist groups. How was the group created. I work at a two year college, Central Texas College and we did try to have a student group @ one time but it really wasn't a success. I have worked there for 20 years and my dream is to have buddhist seminars there but I don't even know where to start. can you give me some advice?
thank you,
kumi
