Student Organization Requirements

SAVE THE DATE!

The fall 2024 Next Level Leadership Summit will be held on September 18 and 21. Groups can choose which date to attend.


In order to maintain good standing with the university, student organizations are required to participate in training/development opportunities throughout the year. By participating in these workshops student leaders will:

  • build stronger communities within their organization 
  • become more knowledgable about university policies and processes
  • grow their leadership skills
  • create sustainable structures within their organization

Groups must send at least one representative to the Leadership Summit and three workshops throughout the academic year.

  • attendees can represent up to two groups per workshop
  • groups must be represented at workshops on three different topics
  • groups can check their progress via the link on the Duke Groups homepage
  • failure to complete the requirement may affect a group's ability to access university resources such funding or storage.
