Auditing Student Organizations
November 20, 2025 | 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
November 20 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EST
Student organizations and student activities offer leadership and involvement opportunities to enhance the college experience and the students’ growth and development. These activities can often come with a variety of risks to consider including financial, safety, and reputational risks.
Colleges and universities have a unique relationship with these organizations that are affiliated but also function as a third party in many ways. Policies and guidelines established by the institution for student organizations must conform to the First Amendment of Right of Assembly and Association’s principles which give rights of free expression, assembly, and association to recognized student organizations.
This webinar will provide considerations in the areas of student organization governance, financial management, events, and travel.
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to…
- Identify and assess key risks associated with student organizations.
