| Clubs and Organizations | Community | It is a goal of WSUSA C&O to increase the participation of cultural clubs on campus, and highlight the significant contributions these clubs and organizations make to the overall, diverse experience at WSU. | Create opportunities specifically meant to showcase the cultural clubs on campus. Make sure cultural clubs have access to the materials and resources necessary for their success on campus. Collaborate with other departments, such as the Multicultural Student Center and the International Student Center, on events meant to support and promote our cultural clubs and organizations. | Students will develop a better understand of what "diversity" means from all walks of life-- including various countries around the world, all of which, we have representation in our student body here at WSU. Students will gain a greater appreciation for the various contributions and unique qualities and characteristics of different cultures through the C&O here at WSU. Students will be able to recognize exactly how diverse and blended our campus community really is. | After creating opportunities for cultural C&O to promote their organizations, recruit new members on campus, and showcase their unique missions as an organization- whether it be through Soup Days, Welcome Week Events, participation in the Club Carnival, etc.- we will then evaluate the success of these events based on how many cultural clubs participated, and what they felt they gained from these experiences-- i.e, increased membership, increased support from the larger campus, more recognition and positive exposure for the club, etc. | Throughout the past 2 semesters (at least) I have recognized a greater presence of our cultural clubs on campus, and in their willingness to showcase their club to the campus community. I feel as though our cultural clubs have gained a sense of confidence in their organizations and in the significant role they play in making WSU diverse. Our cultural clubs have also developed a unique sense of pride that strengthens every year, thus leading to events and activities that are constantly increasing in popularity and achieving greater levels of success than years before. | Enter Use of Result |
