Join or Start a Service Organization

start a service org

There are a few steps that need to be taken in order to register your organization with the University. Just follow the steps below to get started:

  • Check and make sure that no current service organization exists that meets the need you have identified.
  • Tell us about your organization and an OACS staff member will email you to set up a meeting! Email us at: oacs@vanderbilt.edu

REQUIREMENTS TO BE ADVISED BY OACS:

  • Maintain regular communication with your advisor
  • Complete an end-of-semester review and annual review forms
  • Update OACS with new leadership rosters at the end of the spring semester
  • Send one representative from your organization to the annual Service Leaders Orientation (beginning of fall semester)

your oacs advisor:

An OACS advisor serves as an advocate, a source of continuity, program ideas, and experience. We help with the growth, progress and continuity of the service group by assisting the incoming board and group members every semester.
