ADMINISTRATIVE OVERSIGHT OF STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

The Student Clubs and Organizations Program at Widener University is administered through the Office of Student Engagement within the Division of Student Engagement and Transformation, under the leadership of the Assistant Dean of Students. This administrative oversight ensures that all student organizations operate in alignment with the University’s mission, values, and policies, while fostering an inclusive and vibrant campus community. The Office provides guidance, resources, and accountability measures to support student leaders in achieving their goals, promoting responsible governance, and enhancing the co-curricular experience for all students.

ADJUDICATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY

In addition to providing support and guidance, the University maintains clear expectations of accountability for all recognized student organizations. The Office of Student Engagement, in collaboration with the Office of Student Conduct, oversees the adjudication process for policy violations, applying campus student conduct system procedures to ensure fairness and consistency. In cases of serious or repeated misconduct, the University may revoke an organization’s recognition and, when necessary, expedite its removal from campus. Fraternities and sororities may be adjudicated through the campus student conduct system, fraternity and sorority life procedures, or both, depending on the nature of the violation.
