Interested in starting a new club on campus? Missing an old club that has become dormant?
The WGA reviews new club applications twice a year at the end of each semester. To begin the process of becoming an official WGA club, please see the instructions below.
Evaluation Criteria:
In our new club evaluation, we are looking for effort from the new club leaders, quality engagement from current students, and potential long-term impact on our community. The club must also represent a student interest that is not already satisfied by an existing WGA club. Please review the evaluation rubric here.
Application Materials:
Names and email addresses of board members. We recommend at least four board members, two of which should serve as Club President and VP of Finance. All board members must be current Wharton MBA students.
One-pager. Please submit a 1-page PowerPoint slide giving an overview of your club that could be used to pitch to potential members (i.e. at Club Fair).
Proposed annual budget. All clubs do financial projections each year.
Club charter that outlines club type, mission, overview, activities, size, need, and cooperation with other clubs.
An under 10-minute video pitch outlining the club leadership, potential events, and detailed budget.
Instructions for submission:
Fill out this form to submit a club proposal and follow the instructions provided there. Once all the pitches have been reviewed, the WGA board will notify you of the final club admission decision.
We are looking forward to reviewing your applications and hope to welcome some new clubs soon!
