The Student Organization Committee of the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) licensed three new student organizations this month.
According to USG Student Organizations Chairperson Jeffrey Mariano, requirements to be licensed or re-licensed as a student organization include having: a faculty advisor, at least 10 members, an updated OrgSync account, an updated constitution and a completed finance application to request the amount of money the group wants from USG.
Seven organizations were also relicensed, including: Pioneer/Honors Book Club, DU Board Game Club, Club Italia, DU Chess Club, Daniels Entrepreneurship Society and the Residence Hall Association.
The new organizations are:

Uhuru Child at DU

Uhuru Child at DU is one faction of the larger Uhuru Child, a 501(c)(3) organization that uses sustainable community development to provide children access to education and create employment through social businesses for adults in Eastern Kenya, according to the Uhuru Child at DU OrgSync page. The DU club plans to put on events to raise money for schools in Kenya and provide opportunities for its members to take service trips to Kenya during school breaks. “Our hope is to open the eyes of students at DU to the poverty of the world and the ways they can be a part of breaking the poverty cycle,” the group wrote on its OrgSync page.

A World With…

A World With… is an organization that focuses on the decline of elephant populations due to illegal poaching for the ivory trade, a situation that the group says will have “complex and wide-reaching geopolitical implications” on their OrgSync page. The group’s constitution says it will promote awareness about this issue and will research strategies to protect elephants from poaching.” Other stated goals include educating students and “creat[ing] a movement.”

BBMM<br >

Boom Box Music Management (BBMM) is a group that aims to fund, market, produce and record at least one complete album every year with music from student artists at DU. While the group is aimed mainly at music majors at the Lamont School of Music, other DU students interested in music recording and production may be allowed to join. On their OrgSync page, the group says the club should be used as an academic source for music students, and that the recording of an album “will kickstart students’ careers and networking in the Denver area as musicians and entrepreneurs.”

AIESEC Denver

Association internationale des etudiants en sciences economiques et commerciales (AIESEC) is an organization that helps students get internships and other learning opportunities abroad, according to their OrgSync page. AIESEC Denver was established on campus prior to the licensing decisions this year, according to Mariano.
