Good news, I decided to post every two weeks on my blog :) So, if you are interested in following an international student's life, you can subscribe to my blog on the bottom right of the page (so u get email notifications) or you can simply come back here for every two weeks from now.
This semester I took a new challenge. One day my friend texted me asking if I had interest in being the Vice-President for the new club she was creating ''Fashion and Beauty Club''. I always wanted to be part of a club and even though I am a little busy this semester, I thought that it would be a great opportunity to meet new friends while I gain experience and develop my communication skills.
This semester I am taking 14 credits, I am on a volunteering program called P.L.U.S (Partners lending universal support) and I am also working for the CUNY Service Corps. With so many things going on I thought being in a club would take too much of my time.... but fortunately, club meetings are on Wednesdays from 2 to 4 pm and I happen to be free at this time! So I took the challenge. Let's see how it is going to be =)
To open a club, at least in my college, we need:
1 President
1 Vice President
1 Secretary
1 Treasurer
15 students
1 faculty mentor
Write a club consitution
All executives officers need to be full-time students and have a minimum gpa of 2.5 or 3.0 ( I can't remember exactly)
We also have to pick up an application inside the student's activities office and we have to hand it back before the deadline.
Kauna, the club president, designed some flyers last minute, which looked really awesome btw and we handed out a few days before the club application deadline. In only two days on campus, we already had 26 students signed up! We were so happy!!! :)
Today, we had the club fair on campus. The club fair is a day when all students have an opportunity to promote their clubs! It was nice, we brought iPads and I designed some name badges. Two of our club members gave a little speech (Henry and Jodi)

People create clubs for all kinds of reasons. If you have an
interest in something, is a great opportunity to meet people who think like you. You may also be
looking for something to put on a grad school application or a resume. You may just want to make some new friends and have a good time.
Nothing wrong with any of that! Think about all the reasons people have
for joining, and try to offer a little something to meet all those
needs. A survey or a discussion about what people want out of this
organization might be a good place to start.
Hopefully you guys are inspired to open your own clubs!
