Welcome!

Clubs and Organizations is a component within the Student Development Center (SDC). There are over 190 registered student organizations on campus ranging from Academic/Professional, Advocacy, Graduate, Greek, Governing, Honorary, International, Professional, Recreational, Religious/Spiritual, Service, Special Interest, Social, and School/Community Spirit. The SDC registers all student organizations at the beginning of each semester and can be found on the Clubs and Organization’s Database.  Visit the Organizations Index to view UTEP's Clubs & Organization's personalized webpages.

The Student Development Center provides a variety of programs to enhance student organizations through personal consultations, publications and workshops.  We encourage all clubs and organizations to send at least one delegate to the Student Organization Advisory Board (SOAB), meetings are Mondays at 3 p.m. in the Faculty Staff Lounge (Union East 2nd Floor).  At meetings, the board discusses upcoming events and keep organizations informed of updates on projects, events, and voice the concerns of all student organizations.

Feel free to stop by the Student Development Center.
