How to become a Smeal Student Organization
Not finding an organization that interests you at Smeal. You can create your own student organization. First you must become a Recognized Student Organization (RSO) with Penn State's Office of Student Leadership and Involvement. To start that process, first meet with the staff in the Office of Student Activities, located in the HUB-Robeson Center, 103. Once you have successfully created your organization you will meet with the President of the Smeal Student Council and articulate a difference of your organization from all the other Smeal Organizations. When that is complete, you will present your organization to the Smeal Student Organization Presidents with a 10 minute presentation and then the Presidents will vote on it. You will become a Smeal Student Organization with a simple majority vote. For more information or questions please reach out to Becky Winge, Smeal Student Engagement Coordinator at raw5960@psu.edu.

Smeal Ethical Leadership Challenge
Another way to become more engaged in Smeal is to get involved in The Smeal Ethical Leadership Challenge (SELC). SELC, which is organized by the Tarriff Center and other departments within Smeal, focuses on improving students’ self-leadership. The challenge has multiple levels, beginning with a focus on building skills and experiences and creating new relationships that will support students’ development into strong leaders—all while putting into action their commitment to the Penn State values. Students completing the challenge will be able to highlight the experience on their resumes, distinguishing them as future leaders. Find out more about SELC here!
