LETTER: Start your own organization

To the editor:

USU already has many student organizations, but it could still use more. Student organizations are a great way to meet new people with similar interests, and a great way to gain leadership experience that looks good on a resume. The more organizations the University has, the more leadership opportunities there are for students. And do you know what looks even better on a resume than “President of Club Whatever”? “Founder of Club Whatever”.

I invite anybody reading this to find an organization they are interested in, and try to get a chapter started at USU. For example, Learn To Be is an organization that lets college students tutor younger children over the internet. By going to learntobe.org you can learn more about it and set up a chapter at USU. There are even websites like dosomething.org that are giving away $250 startup grants to new clubs with ideas for charitable projects.
