Looking to start a new club at Bradley?

Students are asked to complete Bradley Organization Leader Training (BOLT) to learn about student organization policies and the process to create or register a student organization. To gain access to the online BOLT session please email Atusent Engagement, at [email protected] with the name of two students who will complete the training on behalf of your new club. After your training has been completed and verified you may submit the Organization Registration form.

New student organizations may form at any time. All new student organizations must have:

  • At least four students enrolled full time
  • Bradley University-employed staff member as an advisor
  • A current constitution and by-laws

Some student organizations require pre-approval including:

  • Recognition societies, honor societies and academic organizations must have approval from the dean of their college to register.
  • Club sports must be approved by the Director of Campus Recreation and Athletic Facilities.
  • Communication and media groups, i.e. newspaper, radio station, literary journals, etc., must be approved by the Director of Student Activities.
  • Fraternities and sororities must be approved by the Director of Student Engagement & Fraternity and Sorority Life.

Annual Organization Renewal

Student Organizations are required to renew every year beginning in April. Renewal “season” opens on April 1 and lasts until August 1. Student Organizations should plan to elect or select new officers in late March or early April to ensure proper transitioning and so new officers can participate in BOLT.

Bradley Organization Leader Training (BOLT). Two leaders from every student organization should watch the training video and successfully complete the quiz. Students who are leaders of multiple clubs may earn credit for all of the organizations for which they are a leader.

After your organization completes BOLT, one leader should complete the Transition process in BInvolved. To renew your student organization for the upcoming school year you must complete the BInvolved Transition process by August 1st. This will also ensure your organization is invited to participate in the Activities Fair held during Welcome Week.

If your organization has failed to renew, please contact Cory Bosco, Director of Student Engagement & Fraternity and Sorority Life at [email protected] for assistance.

Bradley University’s fraternity and sorority community work to develop friendships, foster personal growth, and give back to our community.

The Lewis J. Burger Center for Leadership and Service was established in 1996 to educate and prepare Bradley students to become effective leaders in their careers, families, and communities.

The Center consists of several major interdependent components:

Braves Volunteer

For those looking to volunteer with fellow Bradley students at local community non-profits, public service organizations and more.

SERVE

This organization coordinates volunteer opportunities for Bradley University students to build relationships within the community and meet local needs. SERVE strives to create and develop a sense of civic responsibility in Braves by providing opportunities for leadership through community service.

Please review the Community Services and Philanthropy Guidelines before getting involved through the Lewis J. Burger Center.

Lydia Moss Bradley founded Bradley University as a nonsectarian, private institution and in the charter stipulated for the development of “the principles of morality and right living.”

Bradley strives to support the religious beliefs and pursuits of all members of the University community, regardless of their tradition.

For a listing of current religious life student organizations please visit B Involved and search Organizations and select the Category of Religious/Spiritual.

Religious Accommodations

Bradley University works to support its students and their religious beliefs. The following policies are meant to accommodate the beliefs of all students.

Religious Holidays

If a student should have to miss class due to a religious holiday, the student must notify the instructor at least one week prior to the class. If there are questions regarding a particular religious holiday and a student’s request, faculty members are asked to contact the Office of the Provost.

Dietary Needs

Dining Services will work with individual students on special dietary needs and schedules menus around major religious holidays. A kosher kitchen is used in Geisert Hall and produces food for various outlets on campus.

Religious Institutions and Services

Those looking to review religious resources in the Peoria area communities can review this Institutions and Services list. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list.

Student leaders join and collaborate in Senate to create positive changes on campus. Student Senators can always be approached personally, or at general assembly with issues you have on campus.

Signature Campus Events

Event Resources

If your event has extensive audio/visual needs (i.e. speakers, microphones, lighting, etc), you will want to contact Tech Crew to request our services. Tech Crew provides audio and lighting: it does not provide musical instruments, projectors and screens or stages. For liability and safety reasons, Tech Crew equipment cannot be rented separate from services.

If your event received SABRC funding, you are provided with whatever coverage you need to make your event successful: the accrued Tech Crew costs do not come out of your individual event’s budget. For a fee, Tech Crew’s services are also available for student organizations planning non-SABRC-funded events and campus departments. Tech Crew members are paid and their services are not free. Once you submit your request, they will send you an estimate for your event

For purposes of planning and scheduling, requests need to be submitted to Tech Crew at least 3 weeks prior to the date of the event. All estimates, regardless of submission date will have an equipment fee included in the total cost of services. The dollar amount of the equipment fee will be dependent on the submission date, determined as follows:

  • Before 3 weeks of show: $50
  • Within 3 weeks of show: $100
  • Within 2 weeks of show: We no longer accept requests with this short of notice

This policy does not exclude SABRC-funded events. For SABRC-funded events, the $50 equipment fee is waived. However, if you are planning an SABRC funded event and contact Tech Crew within three weeks, your organization will be billed $100, which is not covered by SABRC. If you contact Tech Crew within two weeks of your event, they reserve the right to refuse your event which may result in the cancellation of your event.

When filling out the Tech Crew Request Form, please fill out all spaces where information is requested. Total costs of Tech Crew services are a sum of labor costs and the equipment fee. In order for Tech Crew to provide you an accurate estimate, they need realistic start times, end times and sound check times for your event. Additionally, they need to know the number of microphones and inputs for instruments needed. This information will help them determine the equipment the show needs, the number of employees needed to work your event, and the total length of services. Once your event request has been given an estimate, it is regarded as confirmed until you state to Tech Crew that the need for services is cancelled. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before an event. If an event is cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled event, your organization will be billed up to the full amount estimated to compensate for our time and efforts. BU Tech Crew reserves the right to deny any event requests.

To recieve Tech Crew’s services, complete a request form. If you have further questions, email them at [email protected].

Student Organization Flyers

Only currently registered Student Organizations and Bradley University departments are permitted to post. We do not permit flyers/posters from outside entities without prior approval.

Materials should clearly detail: the name of the sponsoring organization; the date of the event/activity; Flyers should be in good taste and may not include offensive language or photos and may not advertise the sale of alcohol.

Please refer to the Posting Policy for further guidance.

Schedule a space for your event or ask questions about the accommodations available around campus for student organizations.
