Student organizations can get funding from the Finance Board to sponsor ticketed events. Once the student organization gets funding, it will work with its Office of Student Life liaison to get the tickets purchased and advertise to their fellow students. Do that by submitting by following this process.
Tickets typically go on sale at 1:00 p.m. on a given day and are sold on a first-come, first-served basis online until the tickets run out.
Start by looking on the Community Service page of our website. Illinois Tech students are automatically added to our service e-newsletter, sent approximately once each week during the regular semester.
Didn't see an organization that interests you? Begin your own! Any student can start an own organization that fits their interests, as long there is not a similar organization already in place. Begin here to start your path to leadership! The New Student Organization Interest Form can be found under “Forms” on Campus Life’s HawkLink page.
We recognize and support the value of an active student community on campus, and we commit our support to the success of each organization. An abundance of resources and support are available to every group. Our Hawk Handbook serves as a guide to introducing you to important policies and procedures, as well as hints, tips, and tricks for making the most of your experience. You can find a copy of the Hawk Handbook below or under “Documents” on Campus Life's HawkLink page. The Hawk Handbook is updated each semester.
Every student organization is required to have at least one adviser. Advisers are expected to be Illinois Tech faculty or staff members who are familiar with and supportive of the mission and vision of the student organization with which they are affiliated. If you are interested in becoming a student organization adviser, please reach out to us!
Space reservations for student organizations are handled by the Office of Student Life. To make a reservation, you will need to put in an Event Form on HawkLink. To do this, go to your student organization's HawkLink page, click on “Events” and submit a new form. We ask that all reservation requests are put in two weeks prior to your event. If you are hosting a larger event, remember that you can book space up to a year out, so get your request in as soon as you can!
The Office of Student Life has many opportunities for student employees. Our office employs students to work in the Commuter Lounge (The Bog during the day) and in The Bog on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.
Any jobs that the Office of Student Life has open will be posted on the Handshake website through Career Services. All applications are taken through this website, so make sure to get your résumé uploaded and reviewed early!
