The Office of Student Activities opened an office in early March to offer a one-stop shop for clubs and organizations. At the Student Organization Resource Center (SOuRCe), located in Room 201 of the Rosenthal Student Center, organizations can register their events with Student Events and Activities (SEA), get materials and print flyers, and get guidance from Jazmin Zea, graduate assistant for clubs and organizations in the Office of Student Activities.
Sean Pepin, assistant director of Student Activities, said, “This is where student organizations can plug in and get connected.”
Pepin said the office is in a central location, which offers students better access to services such as coaching if organizations encounter membership issues. He said the idea for a one-stop shop for organizations came from talking to students.
Juliana Ospina, senior biology major, executive secretary of the Undergraduate Student Association, member of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. and CAUSE, said the new office was needed.
“It’s a lot better than what was in SEA, all the way in the back of the UC. Sometimes it’s hard for students, especially new students, who want to get involved to locate it,” she said. “In Rosenthal, it’s more convenient and a lot more students can find it.”
She said she hoped students use the new resource center.
“I hope they realize how much the university has done and how the NSU spirit has grown so much,” she said.
Pepin said this year approxi-mately 20 organizations started at NSU, bringing the total to more than 75.
“Our motto is ‘If you don’t see one, start one’ and we’re hoping students can come here and get it done,” said Pepin.
The resource center is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
