A strong central
purpose of the center will be to prepare students for responsible citizenship and constructive careers in areas of their personal interest.

About Student Organizations
We also sponsor student organizations which represent international academic and pre-professional student interests. Each group must have a faculty advisor and submit an organizational proposal(LINK TO FORM) during the academic year which includes organizational information, objectives, and a detailed budget. Groups must also demonstrate linkages to the academic mission of the Kennedy Center and not overlap currently approved groups. We review applications on the first Monday of each month. Accreditation in one year does not ensure continued support; each year groups 'compete' for Kennedy Center sponsorship among previously established and new proposals.
Resources for SO's
The Kennedy Center provides carrels, storage space, supplies, computer support, room scheduling, and print/web/pr support, as available. Approved organizations receive additional details as to how they can best use these resources in furthering their particular objectives.
Why Get Involved?
Students from all majors across campus will benefit from membership in and leadership of Kennedy Center Student Organizations. Groups provide an opportunity to develop social networks of like-minded peers across colleges that can last a lifetime. Students develop leadership, organizational management, budgeting, and other useful skills. Also, our student groups make a difference in many ways:
- SID students practice principles of sustainable development as they award, direct, and manage small-scale projects around the world with the funds earned from the Hunger Banquet
- SIR graduates are recognized nationally as one of the largest and most distinguished chapters of undergraduate students
- FSSO has been noted by the Foreign Service Journal as the first university-based group of its kind promoting careers in the U.S. Foreign Service
And much more is to come—the only limitation being your imagination and plan. Make a difference while in Provo and expand your world . . . before graduation!
